Utopia Talk / Politics / Damore gets shut down by Labor Board

Dukhat rank	Sat Feb 17 06:40:34 2018 http://www...laint-diversity-discrimination "Google didn’t violate labor laws by firing engineer James Damore for a memo criticizing the company’s diversity program, according to a recently disclosed letter from the US National Labor Relations Board. The lightly redacted statement is written by Jayme Sophir, associate general counsel of the NLRB’s division of advice; it dates to January, but was released yesterday, according to Law.com. Sophir concludes that while some parts of Damore’s memo were legally protected by workplace regulations, “the statements regarding biological differences between the sexes were so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected.” "Damore’s memo, titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” contended that Google’s diversity efforts were misplaced because they ignored women’s biologically driven disinterest in technology. It includes many claims, which have previously been dissected in detail online. But Sophir focuses specifically on Damore’s “statements about immutable traits linked to sex — such as women’s heightened neuroticism and men’s prevalence at the top of the IQ distribution.” These statements were “discriminatory and constituted sexual harassment, notwithstanding [Damore’s] effort to cloak [his] comments with ‘scientific’ references and analysis,” she writes. Moreover, she says Google “carefully tailored” its reasons for firing Damore, limiting them to unprotected portions of the memo. "Some legal experts suggested that Damore might have a solid legal complaint, if he could argue that he was discussing working conditions. But that apparently wasn’t a strong enough case for the NLRB — and Damore will be making an arguably tougher one in claiming that Google is systematically biased against white men." *************** Who knew that the shitty swiss-cheese arguments advocated by cuckservatives have no weight in the real world. Oh wait ... all of the well-socialized, positive-IQ-points people did a long time ago.

jergul rank	Sat Feb 17 15:35:33 2018 Courts to take over to see if any labour laws were violated? Anyways, you should check up on the fellow's bio. He is not going to a posterboy for the meotards.
Dukhat rank	Sat Feb 17 17:31:38 2018 In what way? He has a lot of schooling but not a particularly impressive academic resume if you read between the lines. He went to some middling university and got into an expensive harvard grad program that is not particularly selective and then went to work for google in a peripherally related field. His probably helped him work for a long time on end but he has a history of a compute lack of empathy. And while emotional empathy is what most people think of when people refer to autism, it's also related to cognitive empathy as well which Damore completely lacks and that's why he will lose his court cases.
Aeros rank	Sun Feb 18 02:32:07 2018 "Courts to take over to see if any labour laws were violated?" Indeed. The labor board is an arbitration body designed to keep labor disputes from clogging up the courts. Unlike the courts though the boards are political bodies appointed by politicians. There zero chance of Damore getting any redress from a California political body considering the subject matter and how much money google gives to State politicians. But Damore is required by law to be rejected redress by the board before he can get into a court room.

jergul rank	Tue Feb 20 23:14:53 2018 Aeros That is some mighty wishful thinking on your part. His position lacks merit and Damore lacks employability.
jergul rank	Tue Feb 20 23:15:46 2018 Nimi I know what a labour board is. That was not the point.
Nimatzo rank	Wed Feb 21 18:34:00 2018 Your reading skills are deteriorating rapidly. A board is a board a procedure is something else that may or may not involve a board.
jergul rank	Wed Feb 21 18:40:59 2018 Don't project bro. Its unbecoming.
