>The reasoning presented in this thread is pretty representative of the thought processes Damore laid out in his memo. Logical, rational, built from facts. The thought process used by a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist. >Which is pretty indicative of why he was fired. "They hated him because he told the truth."

"Told the truth." LOL. Yep, the kind of truth that got him fired with cause so hard the NLRB wouldn't go to bat for him. Apparently, being a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist doesn't guarantee an understanding of how not to get fired. Oh well. Google can always replace him with another Harvard grad, MIT research scientist with a better ability to play well with others. That's the perk of being Google; you don't have to tolerate the semi-productive smart kid who alienates his co-workers with "facts" he thinks he understands but doesn't. :-p

  That's been my general thought. Legally a company can fire you for any reason except the ones they aren't allowed too. Trying to undermine a companies diversity policies on a company owned channel when said company already has public problem with diversity, good way to get 86'd.

  >"Told the truth." LOL. Yep, the kind of truth that got him fired with cause so hard the NLRB wouldn't go to bat for him. Correct, inconvenient truths. The NLRB actually agreed they were immutable facts, but stating them caused disruption; they were just making sure Google didn't break the law in firing him. Thanks for proving my point HAHAHAHAHA!!! >Apparently, being a Harvard grad, MIT research scientist doesn't guarantee an understanding of how not to get fired. Oh he understood, it's just higher order thinkers don't care about employment as much as being factual and correct. With his credentials he can always get another job. "It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies." -Noam Chomsky >Google can always replace him with another Harvard grad, MIT research scientist with a better ability to play well with others. Another grad that's more willing to toe the line, and not speak their mind. A win for the corporatists, loss for the truth of course. >That's the perk of being Google; you don't have to tolerate the semi-productive smart kid who alienates his co-workers with "facts" he thinks he understands but doesn't They don't have to tolerate the exceptionally intelligent people who aren't afraid to speak the truth; they're willing to let go of those who speak the facts. Not like you'd understand these concepts anyway, higher order thinkers don't need to toe the line to make a living :D
