> If you have views but can’t give voice to them you don’t have a sense of psychological safety. Getting fired certainly didn’t contribute to your feeling of psychological safety. I care about psychological safety in general, and your psychological safety in particular. I wish you’d had a boss or a mentor who could have helped you to find a more productive way to express yourself, and to challenge some of your views.
This is almost gloating.
"Maybe if you'd just knuckled under and remained quiet, you could've been kept safe."
Author seems to miss the bigger picture here: a bunch of people not only missed the points that Damore made (least of all because of deliberate sabotage by the leakers who stripped links and pictures) but also pilloried him for a position he didn't make.
This rubbish strawman of "women are stupid and neurotic" got in the way of productive conversation and was used to fuel a witch-hunt. Most people can't even point to specific lines in context from the document when making their claims, a tradition this author continues.
What a joke.
