He did nothing wrong.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoObviously he did. Weird that is not obvious. But Google does not need a reason. BTW, the fact that a former Google engineer is sitting at home unemployed would suggest he did do something wrong.
- OCASM 9y agoBecause Google unjustly firing somebody is obviously impossible.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoGoogle is a US company. In the US when someone does what Damore did you get fired. It is just how it works. It might not be fair. It is also why Damore is at home unemployed. Nobody would hire him. I think part of the confusion on this matter is employment is very different in the US versus many other parts of the world. In the US and CA you can be fired for farting in a meeting.
- OCASM 9y agoWe'll see if the courts agree with you.
- manfredo 9y agoI think Damore's firing was more due to 1. The memo being leaked. 2. After being leaked, misrepresentations and even outright falsehoods about the memo being promulgated online. Remember, the memo was being circulated within google for a month before his firing. This suggests that Google did not see the need to take punitive action against Damore due to the memo, but rather that it was the reception of the memo by the media that made Google fire him. Anecdotally speaking, most of the people I've encountered that read the full memo (as opposed to articles about the memo) think it wasn't worthy of firing.
- notfromhere 9y agoI don't need to work at Google to know that circulating a memo at work about how your female coworkers are less qualified because of genetic factors is a stupid idea.
- manfredo 9y agoThis statement was never made in the memo. The notion that it was stems largely due to point #2 in my comment above.
- swingedseraph 9y agoHe did several things wrong, and simply _stating_ that he did not does not make it true.
- jacksmith21006 9y agoSaw an interview that he now has his GF filter stuff he writes. Why do people that think he did nothing wrong think he now does this?
