To Sundar Pichai:
How could someone express the views the author felt without getting fired, while still promoting discussion?
Is it possible, just possible, that Google's policies are counterproductive? If so, how would Google find out? By what process could someone change them?
If such processes exist, why would someone the company valued enough to hire risk his job to send this memo?
Is it possible that Google's environment does not accept some minority viewpoints despite your beliefs and attempts?
- justinjlynn 9y agoThis precisely. It's a pity they'll never be specific in addressing exactly how these points could have been raised without sanction. As admitted, the (former) employee clearly felt the discussion was worth starting - why won't they provide concrete examples of how they would be preferred the issues be raised in this case? (It's a rhetorical question; of course, we know why they won't and can't do that.)
