Google hit by controversy over memo about gender ‘differences’

After a male engineer posted an internal note, Google tried to solve the internal gender dispute. This insists that physiological differences in sex lead to lack of women in Silicon Valley's technology and leadership

This 3000 word essay inspired anger reaction among many workers and encouraged the company to reaffirm its commitment to 'diversity and comprehensiveness'.

However, male authors received "a lot of personal information from Google employees" thanked these very important questions they agreed, but our humiliating culture and possible Courage to talk and protect dismissals for sex

The memo first published on the mainboard website says, "Distribution of male and female preferences and abilities is partially different for biological reasons ... ... the reason we see these differences There is no equal expression of women in technology and women that can be explained.

An unnamed author wrote that men are likely to be programmers, women write "they are more open to feelings and aesthetics than ideas" and like "work in the social or artistic field" I am leading it.

Due to the issuance of memos to the internal discussion committee, some workers called for a more stringent response. Google executives suggest that engineers may be in violation of the company's code of conduct, but it is unknown whether further disciplinary action will be taken.

Earlier this year, a female engineer could not handle a sexual harassment allegation against Uber, eventually Uber CEO Travis Kalanick resigned and gender equality became a notable issue of Silicon Valley.

Danielle Brown, director of Google Diversity recently adopted from Intel in the company's e-mail sent to the employee, said he hoped for "a culture of people with different perspectives, including different political perspectives" Told. They can safely share opinions. "

But she added that the internal discussion is still constrained by "our code of conduct, policy, and principle of equal employment in discrimination law."

Google is at the forefront of Silicon Valley's commitment to adopt more female engineers, rather slowly. Of the company's technical staff, women account for only 20%, but at the time details were announced three years ago, this proportion reached 17%.

Ari Balogh, an unnamed engineer behind the memo report, engineering vice president, defended the company, alleging that the company stole internal debate about excessive political legitimacy.

He added: "One aspect of this article, which plagues me deeply, is the inherent bias of most women or men to feel or act in some way, which is detrimental with stereotypes."

News on political discussions within the company spurred this theory. For example, Google internal dispute against employee James Damore who was dismissed after distributing notes criticizing company's diversity efforts. After the election of Donald Trump in 2016, Breitbart recently released a video that leaked out of Google's conference, including co-founder Sergey Brin, who called Trump's president "very aggressive." But this does not directly prove that these services are designed to promote the politics of their Creator.

Anti-Google Documentary The creepy line is a conspiracy drama of right-wing technology rebound.

In early August 2017, after discussing Google's diversity policy with controversial memos, friends James Damore was debated in the media, so when Google was attracting public attention, the earthquake shocked the high-tech industry . The agent Gizmodo leaked and it was released by it. I am frankly backing James, and I have widely shared tweets about him on social media. As a result, Maggie, Alicia and other directors of GDG, and various satellite groups began to realize friendship and support with my James.

Small background: Google employee James Damore has posted a note on Google's in-house forum to discuss controversial ideas. The title of the memo is "Google's echo room: the influence that prejudice has on the concept of diversity and inclusiveness". He said: "Google's political prejudice is that freedom is the same as psychological security, but humiliating silence is against psychological security." Therefore, Google fired him because his article "proposed a wrong assumption about gender." This is exactly what he did not do in the memo (Source: how to read damn memos)
