These quotas you speak of do not and have never existed. James was a below average engineer who wanted the special treatment of his daddy’s generation.

- gotoeleven 2y agoYou know neuroticism is a term of art in psychology, right? It's a value neutral term, not a pejorative. If your argument is that he deserves firing because he's sexist and your evidence that he's sexist is he called women neurotic then you're part of the reason we can't have reasoned debates.
- pfisherman 2y agoYou can argue until you are blue in the face that people should not have interpreted what he wrote as offensive. But in fact a very large number of people did.
- pfisherman 2y agoI dunno. Could be that the hiring practices at the time, or the team that interviewed him vetted algorithmic problem solving skill and did not run a vibe check on social or emotional intelligence. Because blasting out a company wide post / email disparaging and entire class of people (who are like 50 percent of the population), and then getting indignant about the entirely foreseeable backlash is indicative of extremely low EQ.
- gotoeleven 2y agoWhat special treatment did he want?
