It's not "reasonable" to assume "she picked a fight". It's not "reasonable" to fire someone for "picking a fight", whatever that is. It's awful how people are willing to be so charitable to Google here after doing the exact opposite in Damore's case.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoIt's not really about charity to Google. I just don't consider her Twitter feed a trustworthy source of information, given her general frequency of toxic Twitter drama and her extended, bad faith attack on LeCun. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Google was in the wrong here, and if they are I hope she gets some kind of justice, but I don't think we can just take her word for it.
- visarga 6y agoYeah, after that episode I blacklisted her on my Twitter.
- bigbubba 6y agoPeople get fired for picking fights all the time. You say that's not reasonable, but what's reasonable about subjecting all the other employees at a company to somebody who picks fights?
- mam2 6y agoAt least Google was consistent: it fired both people who were causing too much trouble. (BTW This is actually the fun part of the Damore story: the guy think he is smart by explaining how "evolution" makes gender different but misses the ABSOLUTE main point of evolution which is that "to survive to an environement you must fit in it". He didn't fit in the google environement, he got fired.)
