Maybe they should "work incredibly hard" at reducing the discrimination and firing after they're hired, too, then.
I always assume there's more to the story when I only hear from one side, but there's no excuse for anyone at Google telling someone their accent is a disability that should be disclosed to other employees. That's so incredibly ignorant that it's impossible for me not to be mad about it.
And with that statement, I have no doubt that she's correct about why she was shouted down in meetings and repeatedly denied promotions and opportunities, and eventually fired.
- ajuc 6y agoIf you fire a white guy nobody cares. If you fire a person you hired to fill a minority quota - there's a big risk of bad PR or a court case. How do you think this influences people hiring minorities? It becomes "necessary evil". BTW I'm Polish, my English pronunciation is very bad, never had problems because of that and I don't consider myself "minority" nor want preferential treatment. I highly doubt it would be different if I worked at Google (especially looking at accents of some people from Google I worked with).
