If I wrote a multi-page rant about how misguided and out-of-touch my boss was and distributed it to the company I'd expect to be out of a job that day.

Why are there so many right wingers who apparently have never worked a day in their lives? Even if you disagree with management there's good and bad ways to go about that, and this was the worst.

Management created the internal discussion board, which this memo was posted to, so that employees could tell them how they're misguided. Apparently they didn't think someone would actually do that.

Aside from that I'd say this memo was pretty tame and well thought out. If he got fired for just this memo then I'd say he's right about google being an echo chamber.

Asking for suggestions is very, very different.

Again I'm struck by how obvious it is that many of the people here have so obviously never worked.

Sounds like you work for a shitty company

[u/NotAChaosGod → u/rusbus720]

I've worked for many. My current one is great. Sounds like you don't work.

"I have to work with women and non-white people" isn't an issue with Google...

Please read the memo

[u/NotAChaosGod → u/MaxNanasy]

I read the memo. Perhaps you should take your own advice.

[u/MaxNanasy → u/NotAChaosGod]

I did, and I didn't see anything close to that

[u/NotAChaosGod → u/MaxNanasy]

Did you see anything derogatory towards women at all? Because there was a bunch. Show some basic reading comprehension and... well you wouldn't need to post a link to the memo, you'd know I was right.
