I read it and I participated in a lot of conversations with women at Google at the time. That’s my honest recollection of what was written and how people received it.
The Damore memo sounds very different to women than to men. I didn’t see that much of a problem with it until I spoke to my female friends. And they pointed out how work like that reinforces serious problems they already have at the workplace.
Honestly I think the downvoters remember it differently because men remember it differently from women, and I am remembering all the conversations I had with women while working at Google when the memo came out.
- HideousKojima 6y agoThe memo is out there for you to directly quote, easily. Feel free to quote any part where Damore said (or even made a thinly veiled suggestion that) women aren't suited to working in tech. No need to rely on memory
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoAh, sorry. I guess I did not correctly recall the content of the memo. It seems instead he was suggesting that biological differences between men and women are sufficiently real that company policy should be structured in some ways around this phenomenon. I can tell you that the women of Google that I spoke to do not seem to support that or believe it is a good idea.
