[On building an "open and inclusive environment]
>Google has taken a strong stand on this issue, by releasing its demographic data and creating a company wide OKR on diversity and inclusion. Strong stands elicit strong reactions. Changing a culture is hard, and it’s often uncomfortable. But I firmly believe Google is doing the right thing, and that’s why I took this job.
I just don't understand why she gets to talk like this. How come she gets to talk like this?
Because you're going to do fuck-all to stop her, because you're a bitch.
Because they're scared.
I would rather they look at all sides instead of pushing an agenda, but that won't happen.
Neither side is 100% correct and both viewpoints are necessary for a functioning society or, in this case, company. A company too far to the right may be slow to react, overly hierarchical, and untrusting of others. In contrast, a company too far to the left will constantly be changing (deprecating much loved services), over diversify its interests (ignoring or being ashamed of its core business), and overly trust its employees and competitors.
also this dualistic style thought is how everybody hides in their ivory towers. Notice how you can switch right and left and it still makes just as much sense
Moral of the story, everyone attached to Google is full of alarmist crusading shit
Do not let the cognitive elite talk down to you like this.
