To reply to your linked comment:
The "bar" is an approximated objective assessment of ability, not an assessment of someone's ability percentile... as demonstrated by the fact that Google policy hires 'people that pass' rather than 'top x% of candidates' or 'top y% of the population according to some measure'
To reframe the "bar" as being a percentile is inaccurate and excuses Damore's misleading and inflammatory terminology.
- imron 9y agoIt really depends a lot on what he originally linked to when he said that. Unfortunately, as mentioned, he linked to an internal discussion.
- richmarr 9y agoHonestly not sure what could be on the other end of that hyperlink that would make it suddenly okay to suggest that a portion of your colleagues aren't worthy enough to be there.
- imron 9y agoI don't agree that this is what he was suggesting, and certainly doesn't seem to be claiming in any of the follow up interviews he's done.
- marrs 9y agoWell he has stated in interviews with the media that some candidates, who were discriminated for, went through fewer interview stages than the others. IIRC he mentioned this in his interviews with both Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson.
