"Ruined?" Because he might have to take a non-tech job? Please.
He went to a diversity training event which should've given him a clear idea of Google's stance on the issue. Then he published an internal memo arguing against that stance. He knew the game he was playing. He just played it poorly.
Regardless, he'll be fine.

- mpweiher 9y agoFeedback was explicitly solicited, and he published it in that forum. If the company doesn't want views that might contradict current policy, it should not solicit feedback.
- lurr 9y agoHe should have made a better argument then.

- Bainos 9y agoAsking for feedback doesn't mean allowing the employees to make discriminatory statements contradicting the company's policies and degrading its image (whether hurting the image of the company was intentional or not).
