Meanwhile in Soviet US

Very spectacular thread on gizmodo. A google's s/w engineer writes a long and boring piece about inclusion and positive discrimination. The original text is so perfectly crafted internet troll bait, that I am 100% certain he was dead serious. Comments and responses are great, I especially liked this one: "if you were in my reporting chain, You would have ... a much smaller meeting, including you, me, your manager, your HRBP, and someone from legal. And it would have ended with you being escorted from the building by security and told that your personal items will be mailed to you."

This all reminds me left dissidents in late USSR, who were trying to start an open theoretical discussion about a paths to communism in a Soviet Union.

Upd: As expected, they fired the guy.

That last part, about personal items. I did not get mine, mailed or whatever, until I threatened them to come with the police to pick up my stuff.

Google.

The bigger the company, the more difficult it gets to correct a glitch like the one you mentioned, or deal with exceptions. Everyone can blame on everyone else, all business processes that [mostly] work only focus on paying customers.

Each one of these people could behave as humans. They prefered not to.
