Google’s decision to fire an engineer who wrote a 10-page memo<\/a><\/span> questioning the company’s diversity hiring practices is coming under some fire of its own.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two days ago, a memo had gone internally viral within Google. The memo, which was written by Google Software Engineer James Damore, talked in detail about how Google’s diversity hiring efforts were misplaced, and said how the company should value diversity in thought instead. The author had called Google an “echo chamber” where some ideas — such as that men and women have different skills — are considered too controversial to be discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google now appears to have proven the author’s point by going ahead and firing him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Um, earth to @Google<\/a>, men and women are different. You can't promote true diversity if you pretend differences don't exist. #googlememo<\/a><\/p>\n
