I mean even Google HR admits the manager acted inappropriately more than once.
Like you seem to be going from "I find one person quoted in this article unreliable" to "all the allegations from a half dozen different sources are false", which seems odd.
- uejfiweun 5y agoI was thinking about this, and you're right. It's bad logic to use and would potentially have me overlook instances of real racism. That being said, I believe it was just the one guy who was playing the racism card. IIRC most of the allegations were about his abrasive management style more than anything.
- raxxorrax 5y ago> I mean even Google HR admits the manager acted inappropriately more than once. Even without any fault and perfect behavior, a manager should expect that HR would make a statement like this. Not lightly, but often they feel they would have to and taking responsibility without a fault is still the job of management. No idea if that is the case here or not. In my experience racism is extremely rare among engineers, even if you acknowledge that some of them certainly seem to have a personality.
