Except... wait for it... the employer: Google.
Employees at work: shouldn't be discussing issues that distract them; shouldn't be socializing with each other because work and personal life should obviously be separate; they should just keep their heads down and keep working.
There's no doubting that all recent controvertial topics have led to the ideas that: divide up society into individuals afraid to express their opinions; human expression is not an important goal and that the workspace where you spend most of your time is ONLY to do the job like a machine.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoRecent discussions have unearthed this plot twist: Google soliticed employees' opinion on the topic. They asked people what they think, then sacked an employee who did what they asked.
- hhhsdfnn888 9y agoReally? Cause I read it as Google hosts a forum for non-PC discourse. But that's not the same as "solicited". It's optional and not a requirement. And when the company has a desire to move in a direction, and it's being openly undermined, employees that undermine it get fired. The only reason this is so visible is because of the gender content. Otherwise, this is standard operating procedure in corporate America.
