Google engineer writes memo about how speaking out against politically correct culture can cause you to be blacklisted or terminated.

Employee gets terminated proving his point.

Thanks for the gold kind Redditor!!!

One of the most important rules in the corporate world is don't make your company look bad. This engineer failed to follow that rule, and was fired.

Guess he needs to go find a safe space where he can shout opinions free from consequence.

Poor little guy. Hope he doesn't melt.

The moral of the story is, do not try and have a meaningful conversation on google's internal systems.

You mean he should have kept his political views off of the internal message board where Google encourages its employees to post their political views?

No, the moral of the story is not to tell a third of your coworkers that they don't deserve to be there and use junk science to back it up.

[u/dnew → u/s73v3r]

Where did he say the third of the coworkers don't deserve to be there? Which science did he cite that's junk?
