We could have a big discussion about the definition of the word retaliation, and under a lot of very reasonable definitions it's fine to me if we don't call it "retaliation"
The point is, Google is an organization that acts and reacts within a hugely complex system. I wish it was more acceptable for their employees to critique them, even if these critiques are largely received as taboo
- 0815test 7y ago"Nip in the bud" is not retaliation. You can ban politics at work in order to "nip in the bud" political bias, or ban some sorts of intimate relationships among employees and the pursuit thereof to "nip in the bud" allegations of sexual harrassment. It's ridiculous to consider these as retaliatory moves.
- DannyBee 7y agoThis literally makes no sense to me. In your view, what action could they have taken other than "letting him do whatever he wanted" that would not have been retaliation? Retaliation has the legal definition of a negative job action in response to a protected activity. They explicitly found they did not do that. Trying to redefine retaliation to include a negative job action in response to an unprotected activity makes the definition of retaliation include any negative job action in response to anything.
- drunkonpappy 7y agoOh! I did not know that retaliation had a legal definition. Super relevant here and apologies for not knowing that -- glad to have learned something today To reiterate, my gripe is not about anything "legal". Rather, my comments are focused on how our milieu responds to corporate actions A huge Q.E.D. for my point: my original comment got flagged!
