Google fired the worker whose controversial leaked memo claimed the company had an “ideological echo chamber” that alienated conservatives, according to multiple reports late Monday.
The engineer, identified as James Damore, emailed Bloomberg to say he was fired for “perpetuating gender stereotypes.” Recode also reported the firing, citing sources. Google did not immediately comment.
Earlier, CEO Sundar Pichai reportedly sent a note to employees saying that part of the engineer's memo violated the company’s Code of Conduct by advancing “harmful gender stereotypes.” The memo suggested women had biological issues that prohibited them from being equally as successful as their male counterparts in the tech industry.

Basically, it seems that the Google CEO and "head of diversity" are concerned that some of their employees may be feeling "hurt" by Damore's memo, and he needed to be fired for expressing his particular thoughts.
I've tried to not use Google for searches for years, and now have even more reason. But is Yahoo or any other search engine any better?
How ironic. Google verifies the content of the memo.
I avoided Google for years, but one of my techie reservists convinced me that Chrome is just the best engine. I switched from Firefox and haven’t regretted it.
Diversity isn’t diversity. It’s reactive selectivity.
I have a mac and use safari. Love it. No ads, no issues...just smooth surfing.
That's the ultimate Achilles heel of the whole liberal offended argument: The only way to continue it unchallenged is to discriminate against those who do not hold your beliefs.
And not so ironically, it is the VP of diversity who enforces uniformity of opinion.
So I guess this means than, since Google denies that there is any truth to this programmers opinion that perhaps, on average, women are not cut-out for being devs as men, then they only possible explanation of why google has so few women in the developer ranks is because the management of googles is actively discouraging or discriminating against women at google to work there.
If this guy is wrong, there is no other explanation - the EEOC should investigate why google actively discriminates against women.
He stood up for what he believed and his actions will definitely be remembered. Sure, many will say it was an example of what not to do if one wishes to keep their job but, you know, life is funny. Who can know how his actions will inspire others to open up their minds in the future, to question the Progressive dogma they've been taught since kindergarten?
This is ultimately the fruit of tolerating socialist/communist and crimes that “hurt no one”: you fill the culture with emboldened perverts and politically correct idiots who harry and harass regular, normal folks at every turn.
Proving yet again the movie The Circle was accurate; fall in line with google’s liberal policies are be fired.
Group think, strictly enforced, no exceptions made.
Chrome=Google...
Yeah. SMH...WTH?

Doesn’t track your searchs.
THEREBY PROVING HIS POINT
So if science and biology says that men and women are different, then fire the scientists.
But can’t California women just decide to be men if its better for their career?
??? Not enough coffee to decipher that yet. lol
Major corporations have taken on the role of trashing the first amendment. They do it by destroying you. That way the folks in government don’t have to play with words and definitions to convict you and throw you in jail.
Did you happen to read the ‘Hi I’m new here’ memo from the VP of Diversity & Inclusion?
Apparently she was only 2 weeks in the job when this all flared up but her introductory memo was the kind of meandering, repetitive, meaningless gibberish that so many in her line of work regard as substantive.
