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.

I recently picked up a Galaxy S-8 and had a heck of a time finding a good browser. I finally settled on Chrome for everything BUT Free Republic. FR on Chrome was just too hard to navigate...to many finger expansions, too much swiping/maneuvering to try to pull articles into focus and centered on the screen.
I use UC Browser for FR (only) now. It has a few “bulky/inconvenient” features, but for straight out pulling up a page in readable form, it’s the best so far. The only caveat...it’s Chinese...so it’s probably sucking up every password and user id I have ever used on my phone. But then, so is Google probably. ;-)
Yahoo is just as fascist-liberal as Google, but without the money.
As a general rule, the Nazis also made very fine equipment, though I think it would have been a mistake for people to have bought it because this would have supported that organization financially.
Besides that, Google is about the most spyingest organization currently in existence.
Modern day- work will set you free!
If this guy is wrong, there is no other explanation - the EEOC should investigate why google actively discriminates against women.
Absolutely sic the government on them! Anything to destroy this nasty evil company. As Alinsky said, "make them live up to their own rules."
Massive anti-discrimination lawsuits from the Department of Justice is exactly what they need. *FORCE* them to fire half their male staff and *FORCE* them to hire females to make up the difference.
It will both wreck their effectiveness and it will also create a massive backlash from disenfranchised males who were fired.
“her introductory memo was the kind of meandering, repetitive, meaningless gibberish that so many in her line of work regard as substantive.”
I am reading “Gulag” and it has a section on the education department. It mentions they had “Wall Newspaper” that was posted and updated. One worker said nobody ever read it but it always kept changing. Reminds me of internal corporate web pages.
Time to say bye-bye to Google.
Recently Peterson's YouTube channel was blocked and I believe even his Gmail account was blocked as well. Google owns YouTube.
Fortunately for Peterson he is so popular that there was enough backlash that his channel and email account were restored.
Not everyone is as popular as Peterson, so the rest of us better just shut up and keep our opinions to ourselves.
After all, we're all big bans of big business and "at will" employment. When corporations pretended to support Christianity (because that's where the bucks were) we were all happy to be able to express our opinions at work.
Now that corporations are pretending to support leftist paganism, it kinda' sorta' sucks.
This is an example of tolerance in action. Got to love “inclusion.”
He said he gave up Google years ago but uses Chrome based on a friend's recommendation? Non sequitur.
I use Bing. From what I can tell, they're all liberal, but some aren't as rabid as others.
Thank you, I wasn’t awake yet. Tell you what, I am getting real tired of Google’s tracking cookies sneaking in past all my security measures. The only way to truly keep them out is to not use the internet at all. There should be a law against this.
I don't knowingly use anything GOOGLE.
BTW, is Algore still on their board?
Google only celebrates tolerance if it complies to it’s idea of tolerance.
I am finding that it is almost impossible to keep them out. They have even hacked cookie firewalls, They are no longer recognizable as third party cookies so that they can be blocked and somehow they remain even after you clear your cache. They let you “think” you cleared them but they are still there.
All you have to do is hit one site with adsense, adwords, or other Google adware. And blockers or not, you have been infected.
There’s a difference between pointing out trends and setting up barriers. If I say “women are poorer drivers” and back it up with statistical evidence, that’s different than barring women from driving.
I work in an IT department where 90% of the people working on actual technical issues are men. Most of the women exist (and get promoted over the men, by the way) to handle clerical, personnel, analytical and bureaucratic duties. They wouldn’t know how to make two computers talk to each if you handed them the cable to do it. If their computer stops working, they find a man to fix it for them.
That’s simply an observation. If a women wants to get into computing hardware and technology, she’s welcome to it and at the same pay rate as a man with similar skills.
I joke that women aren’t attracted to computing because you can’t guilt a computer into working.

The Federal Government needs to start seriously hammering Google with anti-trust law. Google needs to be wiped out, and so does any other corporation that behaves in the manner of Google.
Google is in your life every time you access the internet.
Get used to it. Billions have...
