The fact that this guy got fired is absurd.
Further illustrates the point that dissenting opinions in the PC culture will not be tolerated.

Big Government yet aga. err wait nvm. Just private company making their own personnel decision.

Yep. They have the right... but it's ridiculous that they do it.
The message of the left is always, we are only tolerant if you agree with us
This guy just got fired for saying companies shouldn't force diversity
Jaw (08-09-2017)
If this type of mindset is not something a company wants in it's work environment or believes in, why shouldn't they be allowed to let someone go because of it?
How do you know that his mindset won't have an effect on other employees around him, not just females but males who don't agree with him? How do you know his preconceived notions about workforce diversity won't hinder his work or hurt the team in the future?
As a restaurant owner, if I find out one of my servers gives less service to black people because he already has in his mind they won't tip him anything, should I fire him for that belief?

"yet another example of the left destroying america"
"the left just has no idea"

Well I'm all about pushing the limits on what men and women can do. And I do have issues with some on those differences (the Serena-McEnroe story recently was a **** show and poorly handled by Serena's side).
Just sayin', we should be unleashing the potential of women instead of trying to constantly draw the line on what tehey can't do. This goes back to men feeling mentally castrated because of women out earning them in a household. Traditionalists want women to stay at home and raise kids while the man provides.
The world has changed. That line of thinking needs to hurry and die.

There was much I disagreed with in that memo. I agreed with quite a bit of it, as well.
But firing him for that is ludicrous.
But sure, why don't we start trying to "force" more women in coal and construction jobs... because they are dominated by men at the moment. Who's going to start that equality movement.
Everytime something like this happens (Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson suspension etc) you are the one holding the megaphone for this.
I thought we've already come to terms with something like this.
-Company isn't violating the guy's constitutional rights to free speech.
-You don't think the company should fire someone based on their beliefs
-You also acknowledge company's have the right to fire someone despite the fact you strongly strongly disagree with why.
Rinse-Repeat.

That's not a gotcha tweet.
That's an actual point that in a scenario where someone respectfully and sometimes rationally said that men and women might not necessarily have parallel career archs, the response was not to prove him wrong with data or maybe even invite a larger discussion on how to address the problem... no, the response is to silence that person.
Marches and complaints. It's been an effective strategy
Right. So stop insinuating that I don't think Google can do whatever they want (although, they NEVER would have been allowed to do this to a woman for a similar memo).
The issue is the silencing of any dissenting opinions. His views were not dangerous. He simply stated that the company's solution to their diversity problem isn't the best path because x, y, and z.
A responsible company would have said "thanks for the suggestion. We don't agree because our data shows x, y, and z. But we'd like to understand more why you have come to those conclusions"
Instead, fired.
Uber tried to hire a woman CEO. They couldn't find one.
Not only are their differences between men and women, they are also differences between races that people are afraid to bring up. The faster we can admit there's differences between people and Understand them, the faster we can grow as people. People arent created equally.
I hope the Google guy sues and wins.

This thread is so ****ing amusing. The same guy who says that the market would resolve the Civil Rights Act by protesting and shaming businesses who don't serve blacks, ****s on Google for reacting to public shame and protests. Just rich.
