This is a marked departure from the way Google has handled employee dissent in the past. In 2018, more than 600 Google workers signed an open letter opposing Project Dragonfly, an effort to build a search engine for China. As The Verge reported at the time, the petition began with an internally shared Google Doc
James Damore would disagree that this is a "marked departure."
Uh, guy, you were GPS tracked and found to have wandered around in your master's office during an attempted coup. This is less than one sixth of the punishment you have clearly earned.
What's great about this is the guy is on record admitting that he went there specifically "to check out the protest", participated for a while, then later returned and participated again.
This is why you don't talk except through your lawyer. He just made Google's case for them (not like they didn't have it all on video anyway).
You are safe, as you using second-hand information, but Vice might be in trouble for assuming the gender of said engineer when it turns out they are up shit creek without a paddle with Google giving them a handout.
No, it said he purposely went there to check out the protest.
The surveillance tape doesn't capture his specific intent, but now he's told us what it was. You purposely go to the protest, hang out with them, you're part of the protest. If you just go to lunch, there's a protest, and you take a flyer that's another thing.
That's the big thing he should not have admitted to, but we can also read between the lines in things such as him quantifying "4 minutes" when he thinks it'll exonerate him and no qualification whatsoever for how long he was at lunch or working "on the couch". Spoiler: it was waaay longer than 4 minutes.
The real lack of thinking this through is; what if someone put a load of money in to manipulate your thoughts into thinking your voice was the right voice.
Cognitive dissonance is a huge thing in these progressives.
You're starting from a culture where people shut up and do labor, which exists in a lot of places, but it isn't what Google wants. They put ping pong tables everywhere because they want people to spend a lot of time there, and they expect that some of that time will be fucking around. AFAIK. Maybe you know better.

Google would take him back in a heartbeat if he'd just put on a wig and some lipstick and call herself Janine D'Amour.
That's hilarious they are pretending an open letter politely issued is the same as invading an execs office and throwing a tantrum.

lol
It wasn't even that complicated. A security guard took his work ID while he was there.
Ah, true. They probably had some security footage, too. I'm sure they'll get the full picture of things soon enough.
I was just naked in the guy's bedroom asking all the other guys how the orgy with his wife was going when he walked in!?!!

I don't see that. It said he went to a Google common space and talked to people who were there. He didn't occupy it.
