A recent report in The Wall Street Journal chronicles the drama of a thoroughly politicized and tribal workplace at Google, where activist employee groups stage competing talks on their pet issues, and a growing number of former employees are suing the company for discrimination and bias.
So James Damore was just the beginning.

In that ^^^^ vein, this month's Imprimis Volume 47, #4, has a great commentary on how the #MeToo movement is a negative.

Google’s workplace has become politicized, which means the company must now constantly adjudicate every offense that arises from an ever-growing roll call of the aggrieved.
Welcome to 2018, where instead of deciding who is right, we vote on who is the most offended. It's a path that is destined to lead to failure, because the only place in the world where freedom from offense is real is on social media.

"“Militia at Google,” which is pushing for the ability to carry guns in the office;"
Well, can't say that I disagree with that one. I'd probably join it.

I'd say it's turning into a riot in the monkey house, but *expletive deleted*ck, monkey houses are far more orderly and socialized.

Thanks for jogging the old memory. I've heard of that site/magazine for years, but usually while I was driving, or working, or whatever I'm usually doing as I listen to the Right-Wing Hate Radio. Thanks to you, I actually visited the site.

One thing I think McDonald gets wrong in her article is that she refers to the tallying of gender and race as "bean-counting." I'm pretty sure she meant to say "gene-counting." (Though that might offend trans-racial peoplekind heroes like Sistah Rachel Hakim T'queezy Dolezal, or whatever name her name currently identifies as.)
-
"Bean counting" makes sense. That person has "beans" so he is male. That person has "no beans" so she is female.
:police: =D

If more men had "beans," we wouldn't have this GooGlecluster to begin with.

Does Google employ Incels (yeah, I didn't know what the hell it was either)?

Drew McCoy Retweeted Ellen K. Pao
O Brave new world of H.R. where employees have to prove they are getting laid on a regular and sufficient basis.
That would be a Hell of an annual review.
"Yeah, your work here at the company has been exemplary however you let that fine piece of tail in marketing slip by. And thus you failed to HIT THAT sweet, sweet patch of a love garden amirite? So that's why we had to downgrade your review."
-
I guess she was trying to suggest that "incels" are dangerous, and employers need to protect the other employees. If so, as the saying goes, "Now do Muslims."

We need the American Concubine Act to take care of this.
Remember, if you like your hooker, you can keep your hooker.

No one keeps a hooker. That is the whole point of a hooker. :police:

Because having sex with cars is just wrong.

I'm disappointed that nobody had the presence of mind to tweet back asking if Ellen K. Pao was volunteering.

I predict that within a year or two, women who are on the lower end of the Hot end, but pretty high on the Crazy side of the Hot/Crazy matrix will be going after Men (at first, then later Womeynis*) who rebuff or turn down their sexual advances.
* - or whatever the PC term du Jour happens to be....

How long before gays start suing heteros for turning down their advances?
I mean that's pure homophobic fascism and it's the same as violence so how can it be allowed to stand?

I bet most of the men on this board need not worry about being hit upon by gay men.

Actually happened a few times, last instance was twenty odd years ago. Co-worker I was on good terms with, after I assured him I didn't swing that way he pretty much avoided me the rest of the time we worked together. Wasn't snotty about it but went from good natured friendly to formal and only as required.
