I wouldn't assume someone's interest level based on their demographics. I would, you know, talk to them.
- dguaraglia 9y agoSo, you are in favor of outreach programs where you get to talk to more people?
- humanrebar 9y agoSure. I do that already, both formally and informally. Though I've probably been underestimating how career limiting that can be. The Google firing was a really bad move if outreach programs are a good idea.
- dguaraglia 9y agoNot sure I follow why you think the firing had something to do with outreach? You mean they'll be losing out on candidates like Damore?
- humanrebar 9y agoI think people won't feel comfortable sharing freely, which undermines the whole point of it. It won't just affect candidates like Damore. People who don't feel like sharing probably won't feel like getting talked at, so there won't be much listening in the other direction either.
