This guy literally said the hiring bar was lowered for women. It says that in his doc. And it's false. After everyone was upset about this, he never apologized

This guy literally said the hiring bar was lowered for women. It says that in his doc. And it's false. After everyone was upset about this, he never apologized or walked back that part of the doc at all.

Without objective data to back it up, claims on either side would be hearsay, no? For someone convinced they are at a disadvantage, how can you convince them that the system is fair?

  I think the burden of proof would be on someone making a claim that runs counter to everything that everyone in the company who actually works in hiring is saying

> And it's false Is it possible that Damore witnessed specific instance(s) of an explicit bar-lowering (or a trend for one team/manager) but no general policy at Google? I am asking out of curiosity, I don't want to skewer or stick up for Damore.

  Unlikely considering his level and the way Google hires employees.

  He didn’t back up that claim with any evidence. I’ve talked with many people who are on hiring committees and those are blinded to gender and other factors.
