James Damore et al v. Google LLC (2017)

[LillyTheBestGirl]

Wow, the absolute madman really did it. This is going to be great.

That's probably fighting an uphill battle. Proving he was fired for his political affiliation will be difficult.

The real meat is his claim that Google fired him in retaliation for pointing out EEO violations. His memo expressly did that. They fired him. Their rationale sounds an awful lot like post hoc excuses.

Given Damore's counsel, is settlement even on the table here or are they going to try and put the screws to Google and give us a real show?

OK, so apparently none of you other faggots read this thing in its entirety, because I haven't laughed this hard at a fucking document since the UN's infamous CVAWG report.

Let's travel to page 27 and you'll get a grasp of what I mean:

Or Page 7:

Or Page 11:

It just snowballs from here, like a Katamari through the Tumblr subforum.

Apparently Google's internal boards have "poly-discussion" where people talk about spending time at Google overnight (offices are open 24/7 and developers can come and go as they please, which works for weirdos like me who have 24-on-10-off sleep schedules) so that their wife's boyfriends can come over and fuck their wife in their house while they're at work.

The depths of mental illness employed by Google is staggering.

I wonder how Larry Page and Sergey Brin feel about how this mighty empire that they built in the fire and fury of the 90's tech boom and bust is now being controlled by a bunch of decadent manlets and their domineering concubines who are more concerned with new and more inventive ways of achieving orgasm then they are about how the barbarians over at Microsoft, Amazon and Sina Weibo are plotting their ruin.

I would like to think the same way Octavian and Vespasian would have though about Severus and Caligula running Rome. But then I realize Page and Brin are probably humongous twats too.

You know, I really wish I could muster up enough shock and confusion at this. But I can't. I just can't.

I mean, hell, this thing as it stands alone, is fucking hilarious. Then it becomes not so funny when you realize this is something you could plausibly see happen in this day and age.

Imagine the surreality of being forced to sit in on an an "Unbiasing Group" session where you had to acknowledge someone's otherkin status as a wingless yellow dragon and accept someone's headmates as legitimate or face firing. Could you keep a straight face? I know I for one would be snickering harder than the extras during Monty Python's Biggus Dickus sketch.

I hope to christ video or recording evidence emerges because that may be something that enters the realm of cosmic hilarity.

I don't know if he has a case or not but I wonder if this lawsuit was just done to embarrass Google. If you felt the company screwed you over, a nice way to get back is to show the world that it's littered with disgusting weirdos who openly brag on company message boards about this stuff.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case at all. James seems to be the sort of person who would do something for the principle of doing things. I mean, if this thing gets to discovery, a whole lot more of this will come out, and its not going to look great for Google or the people that tried to "out" him from the company.

You don't get California rep to the RNC as your personal lawyer for prices this guy can afford. They have their own agenda on this. Dhillon herself probably has a grudge against Google, though, and is apparently as soft a target as a corporation richer than God can be.

I agree. He's autistic. No, really. I'm surprised they didn't bring it up in the suit actually.

Things are making leagues more sense now that it's been revealed people who think they're mythical dragons are in charge of these places.

I mean yeah it's been obvious the leftists that run these places want to clamp down on conservatives or anyone who has an opinion right of Mao since Trump won, but this adds a whole new layer of :autism: I honestly wasn't expecting.

I doubt they care. Alphabet is a part of the federal government pretending to be a company.
Even the name of their holding company is a “fuck you, we can do what we want” to the world.

You can read the full lawsuit here.

https://www.scribd.com/document/368688363/James-Damore-vs-Google-Class-Action-Lawsuit

I read a good chunk of it. Damore comes off as a well-meaning autist that stepped in a giant pile of SJW shit and paid the price. Gudeman went looking for trouble, starting political arguments all over Google basically unprovoked, and eventually got canned. Both may have a case, Damore's looks a lot better to me.

Either way, the lawsuit opens the lid on the hive of degenerates that infest Google. Dhillon must have been so goddamn happy to get their hands on this treasure trove of info. If Google doesn't pay a bunch of money and make it go away, this has the potential to be McLibel levels of embarrassing.

For those unfamiliar with McLibel, a couple of hippies were sued by McDonald's to shut them up. The hippies were passing out anti-McD's leaflets that literally no one gave a fuck about. The suit gave the hippies an international stage to rip on McDonald's, the ability to unearth more dirt on McD's during discovery, and cross-x their high level execs under oath. In the end, the court found some leaflet claims true and some libelous (essentially validating a good chunk of the activist's message), and the hippies had no assets anyway. McD's "won" the case in the most Pyrrhic legal victory in history.

Here's hoping Google is far gone enough to give us this generation's McLibel case.

Google rise to success was being at the right time, at the right place in the internet boom with a fistful of telecoms grants. More luck and inertia than anything deliberate.

I don't think anyone doubts this lawsuit is politically motivated. But then Damore's firing was politically motivated too. Google does not really have good cause too complain about being targeted by the lawyer equivalent of a nuclear missile considering its been lobbing nukes of its own from its position of immense power in Silicon Valley and the Internet in general. FFS, 'member this?



You can say so many things about it, from the Hail Satan hand signs in the background, to the red haired white girl being the only character obviously sexualized to the white men both being cripples. Its been known for ages now the people in google have had a political agenda. What was not known up until now was just how virulently far left it was and how pervasive the drive to push it is. Such as some members of their management staff discussing ways to prevent googles own search algorithm from producing scientific studies that supported Damors thesis in the memo.

IMO its googles own fault. They chose to enter the political realm and then carry out questionably legal actions for political reasons. You don't enter the lions den and then complain if the lions decide to try and eat you.

Is his kind of high-functioning autism considered a disability in California or federally?

 

[CrunkLord420]

I imagine they'd defer to the DSM-5 which just considers it all "Autism Spectrum Disorder". The label has no real distinction between high/low/aspergers anymore, I don't see why the courts would interpret modern medical literature differently from the APA.
