Whiny Neurotic Psychopathic Sissybitches: Inside Google's Dedicated Grievance Newsletter
Google has an internal newsletter about microaggressions.
That right there is news enough, but the Daily Caller has even more.Google's anonymous bias reporting newsletter, "Yes, At Google," has been known about for some time, but details have been few and far between. For the first time, The Daily Caller can reveal what gets talked about on the monthly microaggressions report. ... The editor of the newsletter is Heather Cain, the leader of Google’s Respect@ program. Respect@ is a human resources initiative begun in 2015 which, according to the New York Times "includes a way for employees to anonymously report complaints of inappropriate behavior by co-workers."So, it's a Narc Newsletter. A Stasi sheet. Here are some excerps:
Oh thank God.
Discrimination against the differently-abled ... "A coworker loudly exclaimed that whoever designed the cafe menu for the day must have been schizophrenic. His tone was so disparaging that it startled me. I was very relieved to see that our team member who has schizophrenia(and who sets a few desks away) was not at her desk at the time."
Sexism at Google "A male [Software Engineer, SWE] sent an email to everyone on the project and many senior people, publicly calling into question the project of a female SWE. When she took him aside privately to state that she had felt disrespected by this, he said she was too emotional and he was just stating facts." "A small group of people have made industryinfo@discussions so predictably unpleasant and unproductive that I have no idea why anyone is participating on that list anymore. I’ve seen women vocally quit the list over the last few months because threads have become so blatantly misogynistic. It is really unfortunate there's no moderated space to discuss news about Google with a broad audience. There are a lot of voices we’re not hearing because the default venue is so toxic."A constant theme in the narc newsletter is SJWs policing other people's tone but then blowing a gasket when someone else polices xheir own tone. You see some of that in the next series of made-up unserious grievances:
The reason they fight so much over tone-policing is that who polices whose tone is a demonstration of power. If you police someone's tone, you have power over them; if they police yours, they have power over you.
Respect and civility are 'problematic' "The original name for this theme was 'respect and civility,'" the newsletter's editor wrote. "Why did we change the name? Respect and civility are important but can be problematic when they get in the way of important conversations. There is also a different understanding of what can be 'expected' when interacting with each other within different communities. For example, some communities think civility is a baseline and respect is earned so you can’t demand someone to be respectful. Others feel that respect is a fundamental way of interacting with peers and a call for civility is essentially only used to tone police someone. We have chosen the word 'thoughtful' to replace them in order to encourage everyone to consider how they communicate using a more neutral term." "...It's OK for a team to ask for a respectful community in order to get the information they need to help improve the product. In other cases, calling for 'respectful' or 'civil’'conversations doesn't work, e.g. when it's used as tone-policing to shut down uncomfortable sensitive conversations. It is most often used by people in positions of power this way. "Here's a submission that highlights this: 'I'm frustrated that the yes-at-google editors are talking about 'civil' rather than 'respectful' discourse as the goal. I've had many incredibly disrespectful things said to me that were perfectly civil in tone, and had my own tone policed as 'uncivil' when I responded in frustration. Propagating the notion that we need to be ‘civil’ to each other at work, rather than 'respectful' is a recipe for people being tone-policed, or baited with provocations into being punished, with nothing happening to the person engaging in the provocation.'"
You see the same people shrieking about other people's wording then taking offense that someone criticized their own wording because this is nothing but juvenile power-seeking and king-of-the-hill gamesmanship.
Pronoun problems "Someone I know has been effectively pressured into not using their preferred pronouns in work communications because some members of their team find it unclear or confusing. The person has tried to open a dialogue to find ways to make communications clearer while still using their preferred pronouns, but has had these efforts shut down."What pronouns? Anyone want to bet they're very strange? I mean, stranger than being forced to call a man a "she." Something like "My pronouns are Ford Focus /Strudel/Lake Titicaca."
More problems with pronouns:
The ‘natural order’ at Google "A fellow Googler told me it was my responsibility to make other care [sic] about racism and unless I could show how it impacted them personally I would have to get used to the 'natural order of things.'"
... Straw spat "The ableist plastic straw ban fad has reached Google. The food team is at least wiling to hear perspectives from disabled Googlers, but this is yet another example where disabled Googlers have to advocate just to maintain the status quo of partial inclusion." Flirting gone wrong ... "Anti-harrassment anti-discrimination training includes two examples of men flirting with women as inappropiate behabvior and zero examples involving any other gender configuration. This unthinkingly normalized that dynamic and derives any other."
Pride pronoun problems "The Pride TGIF speakers didn't say their pronouns like they did last year, and it generally seemed like trans people were pretty much forgotten about in public discussions." "We had an external workshop facilitator in our office this week, and they misgendered some employees. During a break, I mentioned this to the facilitator, as respectfully and unobtrusively as I could. The facilitator was open to this feedback, and in the afternoon session asked a person for their name rather than using a presumptive pronoun." "I wasn't as unobtrusive as I thought because since then 2 individuals -not including misgendered employees- thanked me for bringing it up. I'm not writing because I want credit, I’m writing because I think it’s AWESOME that we’re getting to the point that multiple googlers in a room will pick up on an issue like this and support addressing it, whether they are directly affected or not."Yay?
The soy police "A coworker approached me to say that he noticed I consumed a lot of soy products (I'm a vegetarian) and that he was worried my testicles would shrink, my testosterone would fail, and estrogen would rise. It was inappropriate to begin with, but also cast people with lower testosterone as less masculine or manly." ... And last but not least "I have to read 'global slave' every time I mail or submit code."Theory: Google is staffed by crybabies, pussies, wannabe dominatrices and other sexually-bent fruitcakes, bullies, psychopaths, and Nazis, and should not be permitted to exist, let alone control our public discourse.

Of, that's easy. Within the confines of Google, they need to be a bit more relaxed and open because they're in the unenviable position of needed to *define* "hate speech" as that concept evolves continuously. In order to keep us plebes safe from hate speech out in the world.
This is discomforting for Google and its employees. But it is the price they willing pay to keep us safe as definitions and boundaries evolve. They have to deal with it so they can make our lives better. It's a sacrifice they willingly make.

I think Googler C24 meant "derides." If what she meant to write that, then it could just be a typo. If I felt charitable, I might say that.

Posted by: Embarrassing Stain at June 26, 2019 02:58 PM (/B1LE)
It's worse. "Heather" prioritises plants in naming conventions, to the neglect of minority taxa, such as fungi and protists, and thus marginalises them, reducing biodiversity in human nomenclature. With the global reduction in biodiversity due to anthropogenic climate change, this represents collusion with white supremacist/globalist/neoliberalist ecocide and constitutes an urgent crisis facing ourselves

Just ditch the micro-agressions newsletter and anonymous complaint sort of stuff, today, and move to where you want to go: Good old Stalin and Mao-tse-tung style Criticism and Self-Criticism sessions, with political officers (oops, I should have written "senior HR and Diversity Advocate Office personnel") running each one. Get those non-conformists to publicly admit their guilt, then shoot them (oops, I meant fire them).

"In 2019 as in 1984, anyone who can make dissonance mellifluous by condescending facility of expression is considered an intellectual beacon, even when his intelligence is above average when that average is modest. And this is because, as Erasmus wrote in his Adagia: In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.
But our Lord warned that there is a peril in following disseminators of cognitive dissonance Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch Matt. 15:14"

This goes back to early PC days. Remember back when the masculine pronoun was used where sex is indeterminate? For example:
"The student picked up his back pack before going home."
"The customer found that our process disrupted his day."
Now, this was suddenly unacceptable because the student or the customer could be a woman! So the grammatically-correct way to accommodate this is:
"The student picked up his or her back pack before going home."
"The customer found that our process disrupted his or her day."
But that's stupid and awkward. Enter "they" - it is flat-wrong but less cumbersome than "his or her." Suddenly the following becomes acceptable:
"The student picked up their back pack before going home."
"The customer four that our process disrupted their day."

FIRST, they set up an office environment that encouraged employees to share personal information and discuss all manner of political topics on inhouse online forums.
THEN they got HR involved in policing the hurt feelings of people based on all of the non-business related information they encouraged employees to integrate into the workplace.
Spoiler alert: The only way to have close to a "safe space" at work is to stick to work at the office. Not that you have to demand *no* personal talk, but just to keep it in check, such as the "water cooler" discussions in the break room, etc.

You and me both, Jay. I use "he." I've been called on it twice. I haven't been fired. Yet. Might happen soon, though - my company is running a "diversity" survey that is optional but with high pressure to complete. I will not complete it. This will come to a head on the last day of the survey, when I have to tell my boss that I will not be completing it. At that time, I will be a known thoughtcriminal and thus my days will be numbered.

During a break, I mentioned this to the facilitator, as respectfully and unobtrusively as I could. The facilitator was open to this feedback, and in the afternoon session asked a person for their name rather than using a presumptive pronoun.
May I suggest that, "Fuck off, freak", was the appropriate response?

They fired four supervisors and the Call Center supervisor in one night. And if you got a bad survey, even if they were complaining about a different rep, you'd get the boot. I managed to last a year, then the manager from hell left this company and I could come back. There's something to be said about working for a compassionate company. I'd have been fired at Netflix when my husband was in the ICU. This company let me use my vacation time to deal with his illness and death, then let me have the time back to use when I needed it.

On my way home from work, I drive past a building that is the "incubator" space for new companies aka all tech stuff and it sounds like there are enormous generators going at all times. This building is also directly across the street from a power station.
Given that I happen to know that some of the stuff that is being incubated there is actually being incubated what with there being some bioengineering companies that are a bit dodgy about where their funding is from KOFF CDC KOFF, it's a wee bit worrisome as to why they need all that power.

And it's unnecessary. Make it ALL plural: "Students..." unless you know it's only one and you don't know the student. In which case, "The backpack was picked up be the student."
Funny thing is that before I became a teacher, I worked in a corporation that had some of us doing corporate training seminars. I did business English for a group from Manufacturing, most of whom had high school diplomas and a few who went through community college or trade school. They did the plural in their e-mails - "Project managers must submit their proposed deadlines in writing." - and they had fewer e-mail issues than folks upstairs.
And two great guys, one of whom was the only supervisor without a college degree, told me, "You should become a schoolteacher and get out of here."

My duties in corporate America included business development in a Fortune 500 company. Startups had "can do" attitudes, and were down to business, with no time or money for that kind of nonsense. But once at a startup that had grown to about 200 people, while we waited for our contact we read the bulletin board in the lobby and saw a posted dress code, announcements for United Way, various birthday and shower announcements, etc.
Just then our host showed up and brightly announced that it was casual Friday there. While he jabbered on happily, my colleague and I looked at each other: "The rot has begun."
I think 200 or so is about the critical threshold for that crap. I further think that secretaries are the drivers of it, because they're more social than the male scientists and /or engineers. They're the ones who start with the birthday cards, the cake, the baby showers, and all the other stupid time-wasting crap that gradually erodes productivity.

My wife said the same thing.

Not saying I never worked with women who weren't like that, though. I have.

==========
One of my autistic kids, son 15, has super sensitive hearing. I'm oldish and my hearing is not that great. I don't hear certain things at all. So apparently when I breath through my nose it makes some kind of annoying noise that' I can't hear but he can. He's told me about this, and I try to accommodate him by breathing through my mouth when he's with me in a quiet room. Sometimes I forget. . .
This morning:
"Dad, you're being selfish again".
"Sorry son, I'll stop breathing." "Oxygen is for quitters". *Dad chants to self in SpongeBob voice* "I don't need it. I don't need it. . ."
(Kid giggles) "Thanks Dad. You're the best Dad I ever had."
"Come over here and let me blow my nose on your shirt".
I mean, reasonable accommodation is all well and good, but at some point you gotta be realistic and start making fun of it before it gets to crazytown. Google is so far past crazytown, it will take the Starship enterprise traveling at warp 7 years to get back to "normal".

But once at a startup that had grown to about 200 people, while we waited for our contact we read the bulletin board in the lobby and saw a posted dress code, announcements for United Way, various birthday and shower announcements, etc.

I think 200 or so is about the critical threshold for that crap.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at June 26, 2019 03:47 PM (if8r4)
Actually, I'm pretty sure that the threshold is "we've grown enough so that we now have our own HR Department".

Oh. It's a bunch of fucking piss buckets from Google.
Honest to God, is there a more useless, unnecessary group of people than grievance mongers? Is there anyone out there who doesn't think the world would be a better place if we went full Golgafrincham and shot them into the sun?

Seriously, do some substitute other freak verbiage for the first-person-singular pronouns now? If not, how do you "pressure someone into not using their own preferred pronoun"?

Secretaries weren't the problem. There were only one or two. We had an HR girl who had the status and pay of a secretary.
Where things went bad was when we got a $200K VP of HR.

About 200 is probably close. I suspect the threshold is "the point at which everyone doesn't know everyone else." The mesh web breaks down and hierarchy becomes essential. This also then necessitates bureaucracy, which is not an objectively bad thing - big organizations need that. If you let the wrong people in, however, it will lead to a metastatic cancer and you get this kind of crap.

I've figured that one out. It's because secretaries are paid for their time, and so are perfectly happy to fart around at work.
Executives are paid for results, not their time, and any time spent farting around just means that they have to stay later.
I call it the "garbage man conundrum." The garbage men get a holiday off? Great. Now they've got TWO days' trash to pick up instead of one.

I warned people for years. For years people's standard reaction was "Who's going to hire these snowflakes?!". And I told them MANY of them are going into HR, an already estrogen-sodden branch of Corporate America.

The problem is it made gays and lesbians boring, and the Marxists need someone to OUTRAGE THE CHRISTIANISTS at all times. So they invented the tranny thing.
For the same reason, colleges now are agreeing that non-trans gays are not actually worth any intersectionality points.

Now I see how and why so many businesses are being sucked up into this insanity contrary to the rules of running a profit making business.
They're mimicking Google and other Tech businesses who are more tolerant of the college/university nonsense.
Maybe they see it as profitable or see it as necessary to attract those with the skills they need and they accept the insanity as a cost of acquiring those skill sets.
I was right about one thing; PC will kill us. Not all of us because eventually a collapsing society will lose the ability to destroy anyone because the infrastructure will be weak or gone.
It's not a meteor that will kill us it's the striving for self esteem with little ability to earn it.
