Outraged about the Google diversity memo?

There's a lot of questions here

- did he create the group?

- how long had the group existed before he posted the memo?

- was Google as an organisation ok with that group existing?

- is there anything wrong with there being discussion surrounding the value of PC viewpoints?

- What other sorts of lists exist at Google, and what sorts of viewpoints to they cover?

Any group like that is surely an HR honeypot, either by design or ex post facto.

It's fascinating to me that Google even has places to express opinions. When I was in my 20s and 30s, the workplace was just the place where you did work. There was no room for self-expression. You worked, you got paid, you went home. Seems like it opens the door for trouble - a false sense of individual rights when there are very few.

Google and the like greatly benefit from creating an environment where work and the workplace can be all consuming.
