google employee's internal diversity memo goes viral

FoxEye said:
Interestingly enough, I've just been watching/reading about YouTube's (Google's) new "restricted mode". Essentially, they are putting all videos from certain right-wing/conservative vloggers on a "restricted list", forcing people to sign in and age-verify before they can watch it.

In another worrying move, YouTube is automatically unsubscribing children and teens from channels with right-wing/conservative content.

And now people are asking, "Should we let Google decide what we should be watching?"

What happened to choices whether one agrees or disagrees? Will choice be no more?

Because traditionally female-dominated occupations tend to be underpaid for the level of intelligence and effort required?



Google doesn't have quotas.

Also, "hiring the best person for the job" isn't as simple as it sounds. Google is notorious for putting candidates through a dozen or so interview rounds but they've still encountered recruitment problems. Interviewers subconsciously favour candidates who remind them of themselves. Questions can unfairly favour some candidates over others.

The assumption that, without a diversity policy, companies hire the best person for the job is simply not true. Hiring the best person for the job is a complex and difficult task.

In a world that craves quick and the easy way.
 
Restricted mode has been up and running for 7 years.

I believe the recent concern is not necessarily the content of the videos but the comments afterwards.

Example - kids making a video and being exposed to sexual comments.

isn't that the comments section of every youtube video ever?

Wouldn't know but what I do know is the comments are usually hoaching in endless profanity that some channels decided to either disable comments completely or end their channel.

You're singling out SJW for moaning after a dude writes a 10-page manifesto on why Google is being a mean to him?

True, but they moan in order to change absolutely everything about everyday life. The people like him are moaning because they've ruined everything.

hmm, i figured it was common knowledge by now that the youtube comments section is a rabbit hole nobody wants to go down.

you'd think if it were the comments that were the issue, simply putting an option to disable the comments section in the parental controls would suffice, but then that'd make too much sense....

The answer I'd like to know is what makes people behave like this? I've seen really good female photography channels with people simply beep this, beep that. Some aren't even discussions but just one or two words with endless abuse.
 
He will be crucified, regardless of how sane his argument was now that we live in the age of the hyper **********.

we just hired another 'female' candidate into a mid-level manager position because our company has a quota of 140 female new hires this year. I quote 'we have to hire a female if there is a female candidate, so the offer will be extended to her and she will be trained if needed'.

It doesn't matter that she was one of the most mediocre candidates I've ever come across, couldn't complete a basic case study despite having '8 years experience' in her field and got defensive raising her voice when questioned about it. Longest position she's held was 1 year and 6 months in an 8 year career. The male candidate competing against her with only 5 years experience aced the case study by comparison and was very pleasant to deal with. He gets nothing, she gets 85k a year for a job she's unqualified for and will likely use as a stepping stone to something else in the next 18 months because she is a she and nothing else.

But hey...diversity right
 
People are getting sucked into the recruiting on merit thing but this is just a bitter neckbeard who's annoyed that he can't express his racism and sexism.
 
Surely it cannot be as bad as this...

This recent plague of PC/SJW insanity has to stop! They have created sexism and racism where it doesn't exist. Severe regressives that call themselves "progressives". Hypocrisy of the highest order!! Well done Google memo man for writing this! I hope it spreads throughout the far left dreamworld and cures their idiotic cancer.

It won't.

First he'll get doxxed.
Then he'll get harassed.
Then his bosses will get harassed until he's fired.
Then he'll be branded un-hirable.
Then he'll finally find some backwoods company in the middle of nowhere that doesn't care, and hires him.
Then he'll be hunted down wherever he goes until someone finds out where he is/who he works for.
Then that company will have its clients/advertisers harassed until they no longer do business with that company or until the guy is fired.
Then he'll be a permanent outcast.

This is how it appears to play out, usually.

It could be different if he has a good history - if he's built up good will. If he has a large circle of people in his life who know him to be a quality, honest, accepting, tolerant, effective, charitable, kind human being. They'll stand up for him. They know his intentions, and his track record will have spoken volumes more than the hate. If that's the case, he's good.

If not, he's absolutely ******. If he has lived a life of questionable bigotry, selfishness, usury, and anger, demonstrated any type of prejudice, intolerant attitude, he is done. He'll be an outcast to "normal" society and off to the fringes of the internet to find a place to call home.

I personally do not care about the ramifications of what I say here. I have lived a good life, supported as many as I could when they needed it, and lived out TRUE diversity to the fullest extent. If someone tries to toss me through the ringer for criticizing an implementation of diversity by running the standard "he's racist/sexist/xenophobic" strawman on me.. it won't hold water.

This kind of stuff is a good reminder of the importance of living a good life. I mean, in how you treat everyone. From the high paying clients and managers at the top, all the way down to the clerk at the train station that you asked for help when the metrocard vending machine isn't working, to the waiter you were nice to when they ****** up your order. When judgment day comes, there will be two different contexts, two different ways everything you have said or done can be interpreted. It will be up to the people to weigh and judge you at that point, and you'd better hope you have enough in your corner that people choose to see the best in you.

Whilst I agree, the moaners are irritating, what exactly have they ruined? How has your daily life been ruined? You could just look elsewhere, not read an SJW rant, change the YouTube channel, or simply switch off your web browser, head outside and enjoy a pint in the pub with like minded individuals.

I get the perceived terror that is this apparent far left SJW takeover of the world but it's only really that: a perceived non reality. Let the moaners moan. Turn them off if you have to.

That is my exact response to people banging on about SJW's as well

Basically, get off the internet for a while and back in the real world.

Literally nobody I've ever spoken to face to face has ever mentioned SJW's, "third wave feminism" etc etc.

QFT

Oh and on the Google guy..he's wrong. I've worked in tech in India and China, the gender disparity doesn't exist there, women are just as competent as men. The disparity in the West is a cultural thing.

His argument isn't sane. He states, without evidence, that women are genetically unsuitable for computer work. Apparently women don't handle stress as well as men either. :confused:

Same at my place, quota for female Senior Managers. You're now being actively discriminated against as a white male in the work place.
