I like how they concluded that some of the largest scientific studies ever done that were cited by Damore, were psuedo science.

Bill is a jerk but he's not dirty. Please substantiate or GTFO. His massive PR effort is attempting to cover up his jerk-ness which is really his Aspergers combined with success-poisoning. He hasn't failed nearly enough and learned any humility. OTOH, it's enabled him to think big, for the most part.

OY VEY Shut It Down!!!

But seriously, We already have a diversity of opinions, competencies, and domains. Math, language, logic, organizational systems , all have a diverse origin story. It's just not the diversity (((they))) mean. It has nothing to do with diversity, its ONLY antiwhite.

Heresy!

Isn't Microsoft the most 'diversified' (as in filled mostly with pajeets) big tech company?

The Microsoft author echoes former Google employee James Damore, who in 2017 wrote a memo that went internally viral at Google, leaning on pseudoscience to argue that women aren’t cut out for the tech industry. Damore was fired for breaching the company’s code of conduct amid enormous public and internal controversy, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai wrote in a memo that the firing was due to “advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace.”

it never went internally viral, it was left forgotten and unread until someone with a chip on their shoulder leaked it and other internal communications to a journalist who then wrote a hit piece. Damore said it only ever got maybe 20 interactions and was created because the diversity seminar he was compelled to attend explicitly asked for feedback.

it most certainly was not pseudoscience. I have yet to see one of the journals retract any of his citations.

Pseudoscience = something that sounds convincing but with which I disagree on personal grounds

Pseudoscience? Women generally are not cut out for the tech industry. It is a fact.

Damore never said women are not cut out for engineering. He said there are biological reasons why men prefer systems(engineering) and women prefer socializing jobs (nursing)

That's not even Damore's argument so maybe that's why it's psuedoscience?

LOL, did they start getting the constant shitty updates too? Or was it that all the useful power user tools are fucking hidden under infuriating layers of esoteric clicking pathways?
