Title: Google warns its employees that Pride protests are against the company’s CoC
Actual content: Google employees who wish to attend Pride and simultaneously protest recent decisions made by Google (YouTube) must not walk with the Google official float. They are however free to either walk with the Google float (celebrating Pride) and not protest Google OR walk separately from the Google float (celebrating pride) and protest Google.
Every time I read a story like this about Google employees complaining I can’t help but think how overwhelming a sense of entitlement some of them feel. Like seriously if they are so unhappy to the point where they are protesting their own company for relatively isolated policy gaffes, they should seriously find another job. It looks so foolish from the outside.
Twittitled was the term used at Twitter for people who complained about the lack of free hint water to the executives of the company when we had fresh fruit water made each day. It’s super easy to get into this mindset at the big Bay Area companies.
> as long as they are not marching with Google in an official capacity. According to internal memos sent to employees, anyone who chooses to walk the parade as a representative of Google and voice any protest will be considered in violation of Google’s code of conduct
its pretty disturbing when you type in "men can" on the google search screen and the suggested search keywords that follow are "men can get pregnant", "men can have periods", and "men can have babies"... I mean, is this really what it has degenerated into? Do they really want people to think there is any honesty in these results, as if anyone actually believes this? Makes me want too run to duckduckgo
If you make your employer look bad, you lose your job. Remember James Damore? His free speech embarrassed Google, so they threw him under the bus. Pride protests are no different.
