But to make a statement like that about someone and than not know....shows it's simply b/c his is not a liberal.....? If he were a liberal fighting for what "You" believe in, then you'd like him.

Trump has been doing a great job...like him or not...he is following thru with his promises, and getting stuff done...I don't like the way he presents himself, not in the least...however, I do like what he has accomplished so far and only in his first year.

He is trying to do what is right, regardless of how unpopular it may be.

Utterly ludicrous.

I don't pen open letters and make stupid public social media posts making statements sure to offend some, and not expect to face consequences from a company I am employed with. There are consequences for all of your actions, and you are accountable for them.

As always, 'freedom of speech' only applies when it involves your beliefs.
I'd agree however the important part of this lawsuit is male and white. I'm not even sure why they would include Conservative in this. Tech companies are dominated by males, predominately White and Asian males. This should not be surprising because they are also the ones that most often have degrees in these fields.

Google and the other tech companies seeking to diversify their workforce would necessarily have to discriminate against males, whites and Asians to do that.

He wants the best for his company. He doesn't want them hiring a lower quality worker. He wants the hiring, promotions, and raises to be based on merit and not based on appearance like a defective person would.
Just win baby.

That's not what happened. Damore contributed to the discussion on a company forum designed for that kind of discussion. There was absolutely nothing "public" about it.

Thankfully we have choices alternative to Google.

Makes sense, destroy the people who built the company and invented the technology. Only in the liberal world.

Maybe you should actually read it. You would understand VERY WELL why they included "Conservative" in this.

Conservative is not a protected class. The rest is. Should be interesting to watch what occurs.
