#2I'm confused. There is no quotes, excerpts of said document.
The only hint we have is that;
- women choose to work with people, men with things
Or something like that.
However that is a psycho sociological FACT and studies show this to be true.
The diversity programs are ridiculous.
How come there are no diversity programs in the military, coal mines, and other jobs demanding hard labour and shitty working conditions?
Apparently we want a 50% male - female split in the cushy office programming jobs, but not coal mines where 99.8% of employees are men.
Why are employees wasting time at work gossiping about some other employee's power point slides/PDF? Don't they have work to do?
We're not talking about crimes against humanity here, just a person's politically incorrect writings that seem slightly offensive.
Thank God I don't work with the losers at Mother Google

#3A lot of people outraged but apparently no one was outraged enough to leak the document. Can't be that hard to leak the text in it anonymously.

#4I'd really like to see this document as a whole before judging.
By the way, I think that being really open means listening to opinions without "rage quitting" for holding an unpopular opinion, or calling him a "racist" or "white male supremacy supporter", which is a way to turn down an argument whatever its merit is.
Is the document's author a jerk? Let's explain that to him, and maybe shame him on a data-driven basis.
Has the author some valid point, but went too far with speculations? Maybe he/she doesn't deserve all this uproar.

#5> replacing Google's diversity initiatives with policies that encourage "ideological diversity"
I somehow think that if one aims for "ideological diversity" then "gender/race/minority diversity" will come for free.
But the question is how to you target "ideological diversity" when hiring.

#6It's not a secret that companies like Google hire women / minorities over better qualified men. Politically correct nonsense like this is how you end up with buggy code and security risks.

#7> "I feel like there's a lot of pushback from white dudes who genuinely feel like diversity is lowering the bar,"
Well, it is, if they'd hire based on ability it'd mainly be a bunch of Asian and White males working there.
Asians, especially Asian males, don't rank high enough on the average leftist's imaginary oppression scale to count as "diversity" - "diversity" being mostly code for "not White", "not male" and sometimes also "not Asian or Jewish".

At the same time, if the data supported his claims, I wonder what Googlers would have to say. If Google wants the best, what is it willing to risk?
Personally I think for most companies you're better off with a diverse crowd regardless, lest you end up with a bunch of out of touch yuppie guys trying to "change the world" by building an IOT coffee machine. That is to say, all types of diversity be it race, socioeconomic status, gender, etc. will inevitably contribute to your company's collective wisdom, which is probably generally has a larger impact than ensuring everyone you hire has all the sorting algorithms memorized.

#9She's quoting five Twitter authors, only one of whom appears male.
Still no confirmations about the sexism of the manifesto, but the article rolls out their own.

#10Sigh. Again an artificially created problem. I dunno maybe we all should work from home and interact with other entities using just handles.
