Google walkout: staff wants 5 new SJW demands met

[Jetset]

Why is Lemon's Law true? Because women are by nature parasitical. When they get into a big organization, they are absolutely expert at creating a comfy little niche for themselves, where they make good money and bear little risk. They are expert at avoiding difficult decisions or risky projects, but therefore they also don't contribute much to the big wins that the company needs to be successful. The male employees don't even notice this because that mode of female parasitism is so deeply engrained in human psyche and society, that it's almost invisible.

I can tell you that I left a great job in an otherwise-great organization because of this problem.

It wasn't "women" in general. Working for a female manager who answered to a (male) founder was great. She was diligent, focused, and let me do my thing.

The problem came about when the organization deepened, and I was pushed down to a female project manager under the initial female manager.

That woman was exactly what you're describing, cocooning herself and developing a variety of tactics to avoid accountability. I left a paper trail even while she actively destroyed evidence and discussed it with the original manager, but she was too conflict-averse to confront her directly, and after several colleagues, as a group, talked to her directly about her behavior, she simply lied to our faces and denied doing what she'd done.

I had a better offer and gave notice within ten days. Was not worth fighting it.

I also never understood why these companies full of engineers largely think like SJWs. I'm a CS grad and engineer myself, and always considered the #1 aspect to success in this field as being good at logical, critical thinking. The SJW mindset defies logical thinking, yet so many engineers are SJW soyboys. I wonder what happened. Possibly too many betas thinking they can attract females by acting like them?

Google hires people with a very specific mindset, and if you don't share it you never get hired, no matter how good your professional skills are.

Probably no company on this planet emphasizes diversity of races so much yet is so strict about lack of diversity of thought. They were well known for this since their inception, way before the sjw era. If you don't "think like a googler" you aren't hired, period.

I personally know a few unusually talented cs guys who didn't even apply to google due to this reason alone, their reasoning was simply "I want to keep my own personality thank you".

I have little doubt that there are some very shrewd businessmen that have made an art of creating fuckup sandboxes within their organisations where women can be employed to oversee things that seem important but will not drag the company down when they screw it all up.

I suspect these days it's simply viewed as another layer of taxation, or a form of directly administered unemployment benefits.

A few observations:

1) I have never met a bro-grammer in my life - total myth, abetted in part by the HBO series Silicon Valley.

2) H.L. Menken could have easily been talking about the women of tech in his book In Defense of Women, which ironically was intended to be an actual defense of them but today reads more like an indictment.

3) Anyone else notice in the list of demands has nothing whatsoever to do with protesting Google's role as a censor, big brother or globalist multinational? Yeah, neither did I. Of course none of that has to do with impeding the female imperative, so not surprising.

4) I also noticed after walking out, they all walked back in. Paychecks beat altruism every time.

5) The Japanese company (SofBank) that bought the robot company from Google (Boston Dynamics) did so after Google owned it about a year, during which it was headed by the alleged sex-harassment guy at the center of the Google walkout. Wonder if he ever did a white paper on sex robots while there?

6) Google and Facebook in particular are extremely thorough in their vetting process because, well, they can be - they've got your info and there's no clear law against them using it to pre-screen. Of course they'd never admit this, but if for example you show one remotely pro-Trump sentiment in your information (meaning anything to the right of Marx) and you're going nowhere. For those that slip through the cracks (I know a couple), they walk on SJW eggshells every minute of their golden-handcuffed existence. Fuck that.

7) Political sandboxing was what the art community used to be. Early industrialists figured they could throw money at art museums, schools, foundations and causes and that would keep the sniveling artsy types at bay, away from any real power or politics. That firewall didn't hold up over time, apparently.

8) If you thought the Chief Diversity Officer being a white woman was a joke, have a look at her subordinate handling that for their Tokyo Office and imagine her average work day. I couldn't find evidence of anyone working in Google's Tokyo office who is not Japanese - how difficult and utterly useless could a diversity job anywhere in Japan be?

Similarly, imagine the kind of discussions must Google be having with their Japanese team - a cultural brick wall if ever there was one:

"We need you to be more diverse."

"No."

"But, we really need you to hire some non-Japanese."

"No."

"A muslim or two, at least?"

"No."

"A Nigerian? Maybe in the kitchen?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Well, ok, you aren't white; we really can't tell you what to do - can you at least give this guy's daughter a job?"

"Okay. But she sits over there - by the gaijin guy we had to hire for editing website copy."

I put even odds on this being entirely fabricated at the organisational level.

That is to say that Google organised it's own peasant uprising in order to justify "conceding" to all their demands.

#1 is corporate crack. "Don't bother me with your peasant bullshit, take it up with the cops. We have 'given' you the right to do what you were allowed to do anyway only we've washed our hands of the responsibility to deal with shit in-house like we used to. LOLOLOLOLOL!"

#2 "Gender blah blah blah blah AH now we get to the "people of colour" bit which is our mandate to push for more H1Bs.

#3 "Your testicles and vaginas are distracting you from your workload. Until we can replace you with robots or legally force you to undertake surgery to render you sexless we're going to turn all inter-gender interactions into a minefield.

#4 "See #3. If you talk to a woman on her period or any other woman in the vicinity of a woman on her period then you will be anonymously reported. You are advised to reduce your interactions to text based communiques that we can monitor easily or you will be chewed up and spat out by HR.

#5 "You will get a new vaginal chief kommissar to keep the white males in check. This is like putting a killbot in a dress and calling it a win for women, but you're too dumb to know the difference. This was of course "your idea" and we are "caving to your demands".

Textbook case of a corporation leading dumb bitches by the nose while they think they're engaging in empowered wymmyns activism(tm)!

THANKYOU! It just seemed so fishy, but I couldn't put my finger on the motivations. Corporate astroturfing made the most sense.

I think "diversity" in Japan means hiring Koreans. Preferably ones that have been in Japan for generations.

It's actually not ironic at all that the chief diversity officer is a white woman IF you understand the historical context.

White liberals are the anointed morons who started this trend of championing the interests of minorities in the first place, somehow managed to convince those minorities that they're actually helping them, and of course made them wards of the state instead.

Blacks in America, for instance, were doing better economically year on year, since even BEFORE the official abolition of slavery. Free blacks who had escaped slavery or were manumitted by their owners and went North often became self-made men in the more tolerant New England states and, most notably, New York. They were in fact hobnobbing with other ethnic groups in New York in bordering non-back neighborhoods and had a black elite. They were consequently overrun by a huge wave of black rednecks from the south, who brought their improvident hick culture along with them.

The irony that's lost on white liberals who insist that ghetto culture is somehow part of black identity is that this culture was originally imported to the US primarily by the highlanders of Ireland (hwhite boys!) who were infamously backwards, loose in sexual morals, quick to fight, and full of the touchy pride common to rednecks and ghetto thugs.

It wasn't until the British education system reached Ireland that they began transforming at an almost miraculous pace.

The white liberals in America who figured out they can buy votes by playing identity politics and giving away freebies paid for by tax dollars have done the most incalculable harm to the groups they supposedly represent. They are wholly responsible for the retrogression of minorities, for the welfare state, for the ghettos, for feminism and consequent antagonism between the sexes, decreased employment, and for the dissolution of the family.

She's the chief diversity officer because she comes from a long line of morons just like her who bring nothing of value to society, sink their parasitic proboscises into a healthy host, and with an almost magical command of beautiful-sounding but nonsensical language, somehow convince the host that they're not only NOT a parasite, but are in fact a beneficial organism without which the host would wither and die.

5. Elevate the Chief Diversity Officer to answer directly to the CEO and make recommendations directly to the Board of Directors. Appoint an Employee Rep to the Board.

Hire a white woman to oversee diversity. Makes sense. And apparently she hasn't been able to effect any "increase in diversity" even after a year into the job, yet they want her to have more authority than she already does. That's Google for you.

While I shouldn't be surprised this is an existing position at Google, I was surprised that, according to her LinkedIn, that was her title at fucking Intel too, where she previously worked. That got me curious as to how many companies actually have a position like this - turns out, according to the website Black Enterprise, basically every major company you can think of has one.

If that list is accurate, it's an overwhelmingly female (read: useless) position.

So what would the KPI for such title be?
What a waste of huge money on such useless position. I envy people who can live in the top 1% doing useless jobs that doesn't even have a due date or real reflection on the company.

 

[HornyRamone]

Google's management caving in on these demands leads to a very obvious corollary. That is, Google will not be successful in any of its "moonshot" projects such as self-driving cars. I just finished the book "Autonomy" that was written by a former R&D manager at GM. This author is very convinced that self-driving cars are just around the corner. He is also a consultant to Waymo, which is Google's self-driving car division. I believe Waymo may or may not succeed in the development of autonomous automobiles, but ONLY IF Waymo is strictly quarantined off from the parent company Google and its toxic SJW infested corporate culture. If not, all bets are off.

Do note that Google sold Boston Dynamics (that robot company that made the humanoid robot that can jump and do back flips) to a Japanese company a couple of years ago. I consider this a harbinger of Google's likely future.

If automated driving cars are around the corner, it's more likely that government contractors will be developing the tech. It's the ABC federal agencies that want control of auto functioning and exact GPS location, so any wrong thinkers that cross the line can be taken out by a "systems error".

Not sure if this was a separate thread, but as it was brought up before - anybody doubting just how locked down Facegoogle's political commissars are, the other shoe just dropped on why one of the guys from Oculus was fired. Surprise surprise, he leaned somewhere to the right of Lenin.

Every so often, Silicon Valley's virtue-signaling, shadowbanning, anti-conservative media titans appear in Congress or devise a quick PR campaign to show to the world just how truly impartial they are with zero liberal bias. And every single time it backfires as their true ideological face quickly emerges from behind a fake, hypocritical mask.

Take the case of former Facebook executive, Oculus co-founder and virtual-reality wunderkind Palmer Luckey, who was a rising star of Silicon Valley when, at the height of the 2016 presidential contest, he donated a modest $10,000 to an anti-Hillary Clinton group. His donation sparked a backlash from his colleagues, which then led to him being put on leave, and six months later he was fired....

So surprised, right? But read this bit - I sincerely hope this guy is a forum member:

...And while even that may have been forgiven; the real dealbreaker was when Luckey slammed the patron saint of virtue signalers everywhere: Luckey’s fallout with Facebook began in September 2016, when the Daily Beast revealed his $10,000 donation to NimbleAmerica, a pro-Trump group that paid for advertising mocking Hillary Clinton ahead of the 2016 election. At least one billboard paid for by the group featured a picture of Mrs. Clinton and the phrase “Too Big to Jail.”

In one post on a Reddit chain dedicated to supporting Mr. Trump, the author, called “NimbleRichMan,” said he was donating to the group so it could spread unflattering memes about Mrs. Clinton. In the same post, the author professed to support Mr. Trump’s campaign, saying:

“Hillary Clinton is corrupt, a warmonger, a freedom-stripper. Not the good kind you see dancing in bikinis on Independence day, the bad kind that strips freedom from citizens and grants it to donors.”

The Daily Beast wrote that Mr. Luckey had said he used the pseudonym NimbleRichMan, and it was all downhill from there.

:clap:

I agree with your overall thesis but with one proviso: The so called black "leadership" since the death of MLK has been complicit in the degradation of African American culture and family structure.

He (MLK) had a certain dignity that Jesse Jackson, and his ilk lacked. Ive often wondered if he had been allowed to live if things would have gone in a different direction after the civil rights battle was won. If he was alive and he saw what welfare state was doing I cant imagine he wouldn't picked up that fight too.

A google executive was killed by a high end prostitute. Search in google.com

They ignored all that :huh:

 

[SlickyBoy]

Yeah, discussed in the Seeking Arrangement thread - that's the hookers-in-denial hangout site where he met her. She was anything but "high end."

It's a rather lurid but accurate illustration of just how pathetic the situation is in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area for straight men. A guy with a fucking yacht on the water and millions in the bank is reduced to chasing down some tatted, used up heroin-pushing whore who winds up killing him with an overdose. There's so many lessons in that example.

What happened to the whore? Oh yeah, she got released. Probably back on SA by now.

A California judge in 2015 sentenced Tichelman to five years in prison after she pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and administering drugs. With credit for time served and for good behavior, she was released after serving about half her sentence.
