Google fires author of controversial diversity memo for breaking company rules | VentureBeat | Business | by Dean Takahashi
Google CEO Sundar Pochard has fired an employee who wrote an internal memo that criticized the companys diversity policies and then went viral. And that means Google will now be at the center of a debate about both diversity and freedom of expression.James Damore, the Google engineer who wrote the memo, confirmed to the press he was fired. He said the reason was that he perpetuated gender stereotypes. Googles PR people declined to comment to VentureBeat, and they pointed to a memo that Pochai wrote in response to the memo. In his own memo, Pochai said that portions of the memo violate our code of conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.
