James Damore and David Gudeman Class Action Complaint Against Google

Almost all of the discussion about this focuses on what Damore did/said.

This is an interesting document because the lawsuit will be mostly about what Google did and said. This document this tells one side of that story.

Importantly, this doesn't just vaguely talk about "discrimination", but lists many specific instances of it. It's worth a read.

Also, twenty pages of memes...

Twenty pages of memes presented as "Exhibit B", in a case where the plaintiffs claim to have been discriminated due to them being white men. They actually brought a class action suit because, quote, "Google was unable to respond to logical arguments".

This is the very definition of "missing the forest for the trees". Out of all possible ways to present their (surprisingly not as bad as I expected) arguments, they chose the one that make them look like children.

I think that, in this case, I will be rooting for the lawyers.

They mention complaints to HR and dismissive responses - you'd think they wouldn't lie about such things. It's pretty obvious to me that "bash white men" was an acceptable thing to say at Google.
