Why Google Fired Me

I'm probably biased, but I find that honorable. I'd rather be on the street than accept a dime forcefully extracted from a hardworking stranger. I find it unconscionable that so many foreigners come to Western countries with already-generous welfare systems and countless programs specifically established to materially benefit non-indigenous people, and still vote overwhelmingly in support of increased public benefits.

It's a slow ransacking under the guise of democracy. And some people still wonder why there's a mysterious uptick in White collectivism...

She mentions that someone told her about being “intimidated” by her. Is this really something we shouldn't tell other people or should we work on it?

If someone has a tick accent that I can't understand or uses too much of slang that I cannot interpret without thinking about it or if someone acts as if they are simply a puppeteer of a persona(like if they bring up their identity all the time as if everything is about this persona definition but without personality) I also get very intimidated because I don't know what to expect at my encounters. I may intend to have a quick chat about something technical and it may end up me trying to understand what I did wrong to upset this person.

It's not about races or communities or genders, some people are acting as if they try to get upset, they are fishing for a chance to bring up their agenda or make everything about themselves.

In cases where there's no stigma to confront this kind of people, you can fight back but when this person is from a community that is ready to make it a big deal, it's really intimidating to confront people that make everything about themselves or their persona.

From the way she describes her standing point, I got the impression that she would be one of the people that I would try to avoid.

You are correct, of course. It doesn’t make it less credible, but it also doesn’t make it automatically credible.

I have not yet had a chance to read the letter and all commentary, but I hear echos of Max Howell’s “google didn’t hire me because I cannot invert a binary tree”.

It was obviously a rage post; it was obviously his impression of the interview (even though “inverting a binary tree”, being an ill-defined operation, is unlikely what they asked him to do).

And following that affair, my impression was that he wasn’t hired for reasons other than his programming abilities - being a team player (and specifically not being a loose cannon) matters at least as much.

I have no idea what the story is here, but taking one side or the other based on a single post (and prejudice) is not really helpful.

I was not entirely sure where the idea behind diversity in the west comes from or what it is trying to achieve. After several years, I have figured it out.

It seems to me like the west doesn't have enough people to do key jobs and to they have decided that they'll solve this problem by importing skilled labor from abroad. To do that, workplaces must be changed to incorporate people from various backgrounds, hence, "diversity".

From the state perspective, there's also a need to employ the traditionally difficult to employ: people with various disabilities, socially unaccepted sexual identities, former convicts etc. So, the state works with the industries to try to make this happen. This would mean the state has less to worry about when unemployment rates go down and the industries get more available labor.

The black employment thing is a bit different but in a similar vein. Blacks are socially segregated and politically disenfranchised. Not to mention, the relations between blacks and whites have been worsened for political purposes. This meant it was easier for tech companies to hire talent from abroad than hire blacks. When Obama was elected, the industries decided to use him to fix this. Turns out blacks were not even studying tech. He did some work there to encourage blacks to study "coding" so that America would have to import fewer tech talent.

So, I believe that the entire "diversity" thing is a scam. The industry merely wants more people to be available for work. So, they work with politicians to teach people to pretend to "tolerate" others. "Political correctness" is just lying to people by hiding what you really think is correct. So, I say this as an outsider: if you want to succeed in their environment, don't fall for the diversity scam. There is no diversity, they simply don't like it. It makes them very uncomfortable. If you have to be there, dress white, talk white, try to fix your accent (Elsa speak is great), tell them what they want to hear. Never challenge their cultish behavior and dogmas. Never criticize Apple or question climate change.

If you want to speak your mind, go to anonymous forums and hide behind a username. You'll be heavily downvoted but that's fine.
