You can express your minority views as long as those views don't violate company policy. That's reasonable. You certainly wouldn't expect to keep your job if you published a memo saying you should be able to call black employees "nigger" because _cite some pseudo science here_. That's a minority view, isn't it? The expectation that every minority view can or should be safely expressed is both naive and unreasonable.
- samsonradu 9y agoI agree with you, but _cite some pseudo science here_ might actually be a solid citation (eg. Wikipedia or any other reputable study). What then? On another note, I watched the 100m men's final this Saturday and noticed white men are worse at running than black men. Would that be racist towards whites if the stats were confirming my opinion?
- tchaffee 9y ago> _cite some pseudo science here_ might actually be a solid citation. The Google code of conduct is pretty clear. It is a primary duty of every employee to actively create an environment where others don't feel harassed or intimidated. If your science fact harasses or intimidates others, then science loses in that case and the code of conduct, and a harmonious workplace, wins. Google has a set of values, and priorities, and those might not be your priorities but you have the choice of working elsewhere if you feel those values don't line up with your own. Science and facts aren't the end all. I know plenty of folks who are super smart, know a tons of facts, and are miserable people to work with. I would never hire them, or join a company where they work.
