"Too liberal" ex-Googler sues for wrongful dismissal

SAN FRANCISCO — A former Google engineer is suing the Internet giant, claiming he was fired for pushing back against racism and sexism in the company's internal employee forums.

In the lawsuit filed in San Francisco Superior Court, Tim Chevalier, a site reliability engineer, says he was let go in November 2017 for defending women, people of color and LGBTQ employees from attacks and for championing transgender and disabled rights on Google's message boards.

Their personal information and comments expressed in internal company forums have been leaked to the public and published on far-right websites, leading to mistreatment by online vigilantes. What's more, they say they've been subjected to doxing on 4Chan and Kiwi Farms after screenshots were included in the 161-page lawsuit Damore filed in January.

i'm curious to see how this lawsuit will go

He's finally made himself known...the GREAT WHITE SAVIOR!!!

Even by the standards of the ridiculous stuff I see on this website on a daily basis, when I saw the thread title I wrongfully assumed that the OP must have failed to identify a satirical article for what it was...

Wowza.

That's whats bothering me about these lawsuits, everyone should shut up about this kind of shit during work hours. There is literally no reason to talk politics when you are hired to develop software.

They were actually encouraged to do this shit, though. At most workplaces, there's an unspoken policy that you check your politics at the door. At Google, there's a check your privilege instead. They invited people to speak their minds, without saying that only a very narrow range of opinion was allowed and that any deviation from that meant you got gangbanged by psychotic troons.

Also if they fired this guy while Tranny Batman isn't fired, he was almost certainly fucking up seriously.

I hope the fact that these idiots are now getting sued by people on both sides of the political spectrum encourages them to go back to doing business instead of being some kind of SJW shithole for the rejects of the tech world.

He has a really great article here:

http://archive.fo/d31sA

List of words which are now outlawed from any source code:

• Master / Slave
• Male / Female
• Him/ Her

What the fuck are people supposed to say?

This is by far the most asinine article I’ve ever read. Let’s not focus on being as agile as possible. Let’s just nitpick everyone’s word choice. That will help us deliver what the client wants.

And here I thought most inept devs wasted time in retrospectives or by debating other things that don’t freaking matter. No, we have to be culturally sensitive before actually delivering a solid product in a decent timeframe.

No wonder why the dumbass got fired. And now he’s wasting even more of their time... but at least this time it’s the legal departments time and not his coworkers.

I’d love to be a fly on his old manager’s wall.

am I old fashioned but my mom & dad told me that you never discuss your personal problems in public or you will come across as weak but Christian culture thrives on martyrdom & persecution goodies so everyone is victim

Ah, C-PTSD, the diagnosis doctors give when they know a borderline or narcissist would never come back for therapy if they were told they have a personality disorder.

@neger psykolog points out this person is a "Site Reliability Engineer" which appears to be the no-responsibility no-credentials pigeon hole they stick every fucking melee mouthed ogre into for SocJus points.

Someone link me to the old Tim Chevalier thread.
Oh wait.

I can't wait for him to be asked to produce evidence of his "disabilities".

I think it's just a phrase for a diversity hire who is completely useless and mainly there just to push the reset button on anything in their server farm that crashes, but call someone who knows what they're doing (like a white male) if that doesn't fix it.

I hate how "engineer" is now thrown around by HR departments to make employees feel better about doing menial jobs.

It used to mean that you designed and built dams and bridges and steam turbines and airplanes and nuclear reactors. Now it means you find 404 errors on the internet.
