As another commenter pointed out elsewhere, Google recently paid out a settlement claiming that it discriminated against Asians. https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp/ofccp20210201 https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/ofccp/ofccp20210201 This settlement claims they favored Asians, but Google paid it out too!
So, yes, it appears Google is in the habit of paying out contradictory settlements rather than litigating them.
- GordonS 2y agoGoogle is a huge organisation, so both claims could certainly be true.
- tdb7893 2y agoOne thing I will note is that both of these can be true. Google is a huge company run by a lot of people and unless the specific claims are contradictory there's nothing stopping Google from doing both. It's not like we can expect it to be run with any consistent ideology
- moate 2y agoGetting 5 people to agree on one thing is so hard companies have Project Managers, doesn't seem unlikely that the left hand doesn't speak to the right when you get to Google scale.
- dagmx 2y agoAt the scale of Google, both claims can be true. Different teams are responsible for their hiring and management, so might have their own biases.
- pixl97 2y agoFor example if you could discriminate positively towards Chinese and negatively towards Indians and meet the claims in question.
