The Pravda press is going all-in to cover Google's firing of this guy. Basically, according to the MSM, this guy is Hitler reincarnated.

I just read that Jordan Peterson is interviewing him today (glad I didn't bet my paycheck!) 8-)

He had the right to say what he did, and Google has the right to fire him for it, particularly if his statements did in fact violate their corporate code of conduct. It's a two way street.

He has put his opinion front and center for public debate. I'm curious to see what comes of it.
Agree. He is searching his legal options though. Then there's this:

I hope he sues and wins.

It would be some fantastic irony if The Usuals advocated for the NLRB to take up his case.

The NLRA charge went out the window if he emailed the entire company.

You seen a pic of this guy? He's the most beta looking guy I've ever seen. His views are likely influenced by his troubles getting laid.

You're the personification of a beta and are profoundly stupid by representing his manifesto like that.

BS. Unlike you, he had a thoughtful and research based opinion. You on the other hand are an ignorant excrement talker.

I wish that guy good luck finding work in tech ever again. Tech is made up of a highly educated and racially diverse workforce and his sort of alt~righty viewpoints are not tolerated. He probably could have written a thoughtful paper about how all the highly educated global workforce tends to lean very very far left. He didn't. He made HR Fire him and made himself toxic for future employers. He took >$ 1m out of his lifetime earnings potential. In 30 years that clown will hate himself for wrecking his life.

His career options will be running IT for fox*, or other more obscure small media that many on here link to so often. I'd say there is a better than 50/50 shot he ends up in government, which is one of the least liberal places techies can work.

Fox is off the table for this clown after the massive series of lawsuits at fox for crazy sexual harassment. All those fox execs had money and power and the creeps couldn't even get laid with their mass scale purvey overtures. Rich and famous Fox executives have zero ability to get chicks. It's crazy.

Yup. Damore just made the progresso-illiterati at Google look like fools.

Oh look, another guy who never read his paper. You guys sure are making yourselves look funny. Feel free to point out any mistakes - or even this offensive language you speak of. Be sure to include citations as he did.

This guy is a PhD candidate at Harvard. His paper was actually very well balanced, scientifically supported, and polite. Oh, and he's a libertarian too.

What's with you anti-science folks?
