Google engineer's viral 10 page anti diversity screed

At the meeting with her boss, he told her words to the effect of, “The position requires lots of international travel, and you have small kids at home,” the suit claimed. Her boss’s “expressed gender bias” made him believe her responsibilities as a mother of young children made her a poor candidate for the position, the suit alleged.

The vice-president, who cultivated close working relationships with men but not women, was known for being uncomfortable around females, and his favoritism toward male workers led to employees describing his relationships with them as “bromances,” the suit claimed. It was “widely known” that the boss had a “bromance” with the less-qualified man he promoted instead of Pasinosky, the suit alleged. The man who got the job had a small child at home and had openly discussed expanding his family, the suit claimed.

Google has locked out artificial intelligence researcher Margaret Mitchell from its corporate systems, making her the second outspoken critic at the company to be sidelined. Mitchell was a vocal supporter of her colleague Timnit Gebru, who departed under acrimonious circumstances last month.

Mitchell leads Alphabet Inc.’s Ethical AI unit, which is responsible for developing the company’s technology in a socially responsible manner. Gebru tweeted on Tuesday that Mitchell’s “corp access is now locked” and that the researcher had been told she would remain locked out “for at least a few days.”
