This is so wrong in so many ways. Don't call back in question that the universe was created in 7 day, that the earth is flat, global warming etc. Because it is harmful to believers ?
It's not just a difference in personality. It's a difference in behavioral and intellectual capability. Denying or repressing it is plain stupid. This essay proves that something is totally wrong in the way people handle this issue. But this is sadly not a surprize.
- freetime2 9y agoI think it's fair for an employer to say to its employees. After all, you are there to get work done, not solve all of the problems in the world. But in this particular issue I think that Google actually opened the door by implementing a diversity program that favors one group of people over another (note: I personally have no issues with affirmative action programs, but let's at least be intellectually honest about what they are), and forcing employees to sit through special training. Now he is complaining about workplace conditions. And firing employees for complaining about workplace conditions is not ok (and potentially illegal in California).
