Former #Google employee James #Damore filed a wrongful termination suit against the tech giant. A few observations from a recovering California employment attorney:
1. The complaint is very well drafted. I don't think I have ever read so thorough a piece as this including exhibits of the anti-male, anti-conservative bias in California (NB, political affiliation/political expression is a protected status in California for purposes of employment decisions);
2. The complaint includes a couple creative, and logical, arguments including discrimination and harassment on the basis of being a white male. While these type of arguments are rare, they are within the reading of the law;
3. The complaint seeks class action status for all similarly situated employees. From what I can tell, there appear to be a couple distinct subclasses: A. Conservative/classical liberal employees who were discriminated against on the basis of political affiliation; and B. White male employees;
4. The complaint should survive, or substantially survive, a demurrer (California lingo for a Motion to Dismiss for all uninitiated attorneys :-D); and
5. The suit includes a couple Causes of Action where I am not persuaded the chances of success are high. However, it is best to include them and let a court decide whether there is merit after the discovery process is complete.
I cannot wait to see what type of evidence the Dhillon Law Firm is able to uncover, especially given the quality of evidence already included in the brief.
