It looks like a major part of the problem she had with the PB rejections was some kind of hypocrisy or inconsistency which she attributed to racism, especially with all that Ida B. Wells stuff:
> Meanwhile, one of the other people involved, a white dude (good friend I won't name, he can name himself if he wants), was also getting PBs.
> His weren't getting rejected. I told him mine were. He was pissed. Wanted to tell everyone what was happening. I declined.
Personally I think 7 x $150 is such a trivial amount of money that it was a mistake to say anything about it at all, certainly not worth losing one's job over.
- plicense 11y agoLol, coming to think of it, 7x$150 is my monthly pay!
- pmelendez 11y agoWhere do you live? That makes a big difference.
- maccard 11y agoAbsolutely. not everyone on here lives in San Francisco and is paid 100k+ a year.
- hueving 11y agoYeah, apparently some of these people live in Mountain View and make 250k+ a year.
- jvehent 11y ago... but can't buy a decent house for less than $800k. (note: I don't live in CA)
- zeroonetwothree 11y agoTry $1.5 million.
- plicense 11y agoI live in India - and work for one of the tech giants. Our entire team is split into two - one part in the US and the other here in India. We both do the similar amount of work, in fact the estimates our managers give out for upcoming projects are like 25-50% lesser than the ones in US. Yet, we get paid 1/10th of their annual salary. Not that I complain, just comparing the wage differences!
- wfunction 11y agoIt's also 12,600 times Steve Job's salary when he was CEO.
- micampe 11y agoIf you want to make snide jokes you should at least be informed. Steve Jobs’ salary when he was CEO was $1 http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/technology/1111/gallery.1_dollar_tech_executives/ http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/technology/1111/gallery....
- BuildTheRobots 11y agoI think that was exactly the snide joke he was making. ( 7 * 150 * 12 == $12,600 == 12,700 * 1 )
- micampe 11y agoOh. Woosh.

- vonklaus 11y agoto be fair he did accrue nearly 3B is stock, a large amount of that was when he took over in 1997.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoIt's even more a trivial amount of money to risk damaging your company's reputation over. Her manager screwed up royally.
- hueving 11y agoUgh, that idiotic jump to racism really watered down what was a great post otherwise. She started the spreadsheet AND had a meeting with her manager about it. Of course her PBs are going to be more closely scrutinized than random person X. She pissed off her manager, it's that simple. Then she went full on asshole and hinted that he should name himself. For what? To prove that a white guy indeed does work at Google who has a manager that approved bonuses? If you swing a bat at a hornets nest and you get stung more than someone observing from 50 yards away, do you instantly assume it's because the hornets are racist/sexist?
- ctvo 11y agoYou're getting what you want out of that thread and not what was written: She had a good friend who helped her create the spreadsheet and his PBs weren't rejected. As in, they both shared the same responsibilities for getting this thing going, but he was being treated differently. She doesn't name him out of respect for his privacy, but later in that thread he names himself. He was brought in as a point of reference for her claim she was being treated differently.
- ectoplasm 11y agoI don't really understand what happened in the end, but my best guess is that she was finally fired for telling off her manager and calling him/her a racist. > Shit WILL hit the fan if you tell a racist (a well documented racist) to go fuck themselves though. In defense of the racist, obvi.
- hueving 11y agoNo, she created the spreadsheet, she said it herself. She is responsible for sharing it. Other people might have helped after that, but it just doesn't matter. It especially doesn't matter if they were white. They didn't create it.
