I thought this story had already been reported a month ago. But no, I was wrong, that was the other organizer of the Google Protests, Claire Stapleton:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/jun/07/google-wa...

So to clarify, both of the female Google employees who lead/organized the protests have now left because they say they faced retaliation. That looks very bad for Google.

How does this look bad for Google? Honest question.

>>cobook+hf
It's bad to retaliate against workers who organize against sexual harassment and gender compensation disparity in the workplace. It looks bad because it is bad.

So as long as you have good intentions you should be free to bring whatever politics to work?

Regardless of how, as long as what your protesting the right things everything else doesn’t matter?

Protesting against sexual harrassement and and equal compensation are just 'your politics'? huh.

>>Afton+yg
The fact you're conflating sexual harrassment (which is illegal almost everywhere) with an incredibly politicized concept as "equal compensation" (which even within one's own family there are wide disparities in outcomes, as even siblings from the same house can have widely different career outcomes, let alone in society) says everything...

I also don’t like being told I support sexual harassment because I don’t think highly politicized work environments (note I said work environment not society) are a healthy environment. That’s a dirty tactic.

Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_pay_for_equal_work

Way to chop off my sentence at the perfect point for you to counter it, while ignoring the rest of the context it was said. I’ve edited it now so it won’t be.

>>dmix+0k
Well, you edited it a bit now but my point is, you're either misunderstanding or misrepresenting what "equal compensation" is about. If it's the former, the linked page is a good place to start.

I could link you to plenty of politic hot topics that I care about. But I don’t see how that helps explain the role of highly politicized work environments.

Violence on the other hand also has no place in the work environment. Which is why harassment of all forms isn’t tolerated.

It's not a matter of 'hot topics' or 'politicization'. Workers demands for fair compensation in general have a long history and are a central part of the relationship between employer and employee. If you think the fact that siblings might experience different economic outcomes has anything to do with this, you've (most charitably interpreted) misunderstood the topic.
