> In or about June 2022, both Schiestel and Stewart strongly encouraged Olohan to hire only female applicants for an open management position on his team. Not great for Google executives to be doing this.

  Some folks would say that "The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination." I wouldn't be surprised if this was a popular leaning within Google, given its politics and morals. Obviously, the federal govt or the state of CA wouldn't support that approach if it were to make its way into a courtroom, but it's accepted as a "necessary evil" in the more elevated and sophisticated circles.

  It's the "right" kind of sexism. Everyone knows it's happening, but let's see if anything will come out of it now that it's in the open. I'm guessing there has to be at least one lawyer who's eager to jump on it.

  There will be no consequences for google. We all know this happens. A past suit by a recruiter had emails filed as evidence to the court where recruiters were told to cancel all interviews with candidates who were not women or Black. [1] And yet if you mention this, you're the racist. You're the White nationalist (even though the media celebrates Black nationalism). Even so--they also have lawsuits alleging discrimination against promoting Black employees. There's really nothing contradictory about this. Different individuals can be racist in different ways.

    I don't understand the downvotes. The parent has added relevant information, sourced it, and the source agrees.
