#12Convincing women to focus on a career in STEM is telling them that their choices for careers in nursing, teaching, and any other career dominated by women are wrong choices. I don't believe that, they are essential to our society and are arguably more important than helping create better ads at Google and Facebook.

#13This is a surprisingly accurate, well written, neutral article, save the click baity headline.
Everyone here should treat suggestions of resigning with a grain of salt, the author just wants your attention

#14> There are many actors in the whole Google/diversity drama Says the guy who has just claimed its CEO should resign.
Yup.
Here is the only intelligent thing I've read about this debacle:
To me, if you read it and are completely outraged or uniformly in favor, then you are part of the problem.

#15lol what a clickbait obnoxious headline.
What was he supposed to do? He's got a workforce of tens of thousands, lots of who were offended rightly or not. To keep the guy around would've been just as bad. You publish something like that you accept the consequences. You make yourself obnoxious to your bosses who expect you to be a quiet cog in the machine, that's what happens. Duh.
It's kind of funny that Damore dropped out of Harvard to work at Google and he's now been fired from there. Kind of throwing away his advantages.

There is a lot of technology involved in healthcare and teaching.

#17Earlier quoted context omitted.
How's that relevant to the point of the article?
With his article on the NYT, he has become one the principal actors and is contributing to make the drama bigger.
so how's that relevant to your comment? Does this change anything about there being multiple actors in this drama?

#18Honestly, I think he made the right move just from a PR perspective. His firing makes sense: the CEO and HR are both acting to protect the company. The author of the manifesto caused Google a PR disaster and created a huge state of internal conflict, valid or not. The shareholders are probably really happy that their CEO removed a person who managed to get Google so much bad press in so little time. This is the reali…
The leakers caused the bad press, not Damore. (Unless he was the leaker, of course...)

So why wasn't the person who released the internal memo fired? I don't agree with the memo's author, but it was an internal memo, not something released to the wild

The firing has been a PR disaster, and amplified and exaggerated the effect of this issue (not to mention that it drew attention to other factors, like Google's institutional ageism). And while I don't want to diagnose over the internet, it seems like it's attacking someone on the spectrum for traits of being on the spectrum.
By firing him they made him a hero to enormous groups, and doubled down on this discussion. By doing it in an anti-science, anti-evidence way they legitimized almost everything he said, and it makes them look reactionary.
They could have simply said that they were taking punitive actions and kept him in the fold.
