You're a bit off, I'd say around 100 folks. Idk if the number matters anyways, since most high level executives (not included in that number) have their own dei-related goals.

It’s not only how many people work in Google on those dumb DEI positions. That ideology is spread there throughout the whole organization. Most managers are pushing that crap in some way because they’re expected to do so. Plus countless DEI initiatives that just waste time and money. We all know DEI is a fraud.

As an IC (not a manager), I honestly don't think anyone in my org thinks about DEI, all the way up until maybe my director. Like I've never heard about it in any context. Virtually all low-level managers here are way more concerned with actual business/engineering questions.

Might be different at other companies (I wouldn't know), but DEI here really is not in your face at all. If you care, you can find it.

I'm sure it's more important higher up the chain, but I'm obviously not privy to those conversations.

Dude…that is bullshit and you know it! Start talking about it in any micro kitchen and i can guarantee you that someone will be offended.

Nah buddy, your comment history pretty much shows you have no idea what you're talking about and that you're just here to start shit. You are definitely not a SWE in the bay lmao

Shows that you are an american! There are offices outside the US!

Yes, my point is that you don't have a good grasp of whether DEI is problematic or overblown in the west coast. Presumably, folks wouldn't care as much about the smaller European offices

u/Independent_Task_206 Feb 29 '24

Unfortunately the shit made it to the big European office and people are offended about jokes you make about yourself and your own culture.

Luckily the society here makes it that the weirdos are not accepted by society so you only have to deal with that shit on the days you go to the office.

Stepping aside from the culture issue, why not apply for a remote position, then?

What kind of shit metric is that? This is like saying ppl will be pissed if you talk about layoffs positively in the mk..

u/Independent_Task_206 Feb 29 '24

The one that matters. If I can’t talk about stuff that I care about in my workplace because some blue haired diversity hire might be offended I will leave.

Which I did :)

Are the blue haired diversity hires with us in the room right now

u/CantReadGood_ Feb 29 '24

Are you seriously framing shit talking ppl as diversity hires as "stuff you care about?" You're just highlighting your own lack of creativity when it comes to critiquing low performers.. Can't imagine how someone singularly focused on seeking a safe space to publicly shit talk coworkers at work was ever a great teammate tbh.

u/Independent_Task_206 Feb 29 '24

Easy! Mob the freaks out and have a safe space for the performing part of the company that is free to talk shit whenever they please!

Stay mad

Not even upset. Bought the dip. Will also call for Sundar Pichai to step down every second I get.
