Catholic Former Google Employee Settles with Woke Monopoly; Company Had Fired Him for "Rewarding High Performers" and Praising Workers for Their "Hustle," Which Google Said Was "Ableist" and Non-"Inclusive"

What is Google saying about its "inclusive" employees, then?

Are they not high-performing? Do they lack hustle?

Does Google not wish to reward high-performing workers who show hustle?

Former Google executive Ryan Olohan obtained a settlement with the tech giant last week after the company fired him for allegedly not being "inclusive."

Prior to his termination, Olohan was Google's managing director of food, beverage, and restaurants. Google's Employee Investigations team explained Olohan was not inclusive because he "show[ed] favoritism towards high performers" and remarked on the "walking pace and hustle" of employees, which the company referred to as "ableist."

A settlement was reached last week and the case was dismissed, marking a victory for conservatives in an industry rife with allegations of anti-white, anti-male and anti-conservative discrimination.

...


Olohan also alleged he was sexually harassed by his boss, Tiffany Miller. The lawsuit states that upon refusing her advances, Miller retaliated by accusing him at least twice of committing "microaggressions."

The company's Human Resources Business Partner, Jacky Schiestel, agreed Olohan did not commit either alleged "microaggression."

...

Google discriminated against Olohan's race and gender, admitting the company would not have addressed the "hostile work environment" if Olohan had not been a white man, the lawsuit alleged.

A spokesperson for Google told the Caller in 2023 that Olohan "was terminated with cause after a thorough investigation of complaints by numerous employees," adding that the company "firmly [stands] by [its] decision" and will "vigorously defend ourselves against these claims."

...

Since 2016, Olohan won Google's "Founders Award" every year, which came with an equity grant of $250,000. He also received consistently high performance rankings and quickly ascended the company's ranks, according to the lawsuit.

Update: He wasn't inclusive?

His wife is Asian and so are his children.

ace - strippers are also just working their way through med school.

Having worked in the industry for several years I did, in fact know some Dancers who were working their way through college. One of our dancers was a substitute dancer for the World renown Houston Ballet. When somebody in Corps of the Ballet was injured or ill, they would call her up to dance on short notice. How many jobs do you think there are for professional dancers? The answer is not very many.

So am I saying most dancers are like that? No, but they do exist.

Especially making a US BitCoin reserve.

So, Kremlila gets the DOJ to suddenly transfer some $2 billion BitCoin (a small part that they seized from Silk Road) to a trading exchange--a clear, ugly warning shot that they will sell it and tank the BitCoin price.

If most civil litigants did not settle or get poured out pretrial, and if most criminal defendants did not plea out before trial, the judicial system would collapse under its own weight. Courts are not funded or staffed to handle that many trials.

180 144 Listening to Dan Bongino. The former Secret Service agent is pissed. Our new SS Director is lying his ass off in questioning before the Senate, when he isn't outright refusing to answer. God help us. Pray for America.

Posted by: Sam Adams at July 30, 2024 02:53 PM (KEWDx)


The new Acting SS Director is a Company Man, first, last, and always. He knows if Trump is elected he and his buddies are gone, gone, gone. He likely believes that if Kamala is elected his future in the DeepState may be bright. Let that sink in.

I actually don't have a problem with that statement--as a goal of a civil society.

To say that society can be upended and we can throw people in ditches because it's not already that way, is another thing entirely. Because the thing about a goal, is that you don't fully know how reachable it is.

However, theory-first-reality-long-after people have really not paid attention to how you get out of people according to their ability.

That's incentive.

And yet there's not one ideological regime world-wide that doesn't pay their dictators and politburo members more in terms of easier living for their "greater contribution" to the cause.

So in reality, they know. But the theory lets them not know it at all.

Also, is the money we waste on genital "transformation" a "need"? Why do those closest to Marxist insist on this?

Because it's population control? How many people need to die instead of have their needs met?

UPDATE:

Met with the surgeon today. They had test results and said that they took the first row of 3 lymph nodes and only one tested positive for cancer. The other 2 were clean, so they believe they got ALL OF IT out. The node was .8 centimeter in size, so while it spread, it didn't get far.

We meet with the oncologist next week to discuss the next steps.

Normally, the VP choice is made shortly before the convention but the Presidential candidate would have the nomination by then. That's not the case here.

So a VP candidate has to decide if he want's to hitch his wagon to a woman who's not only likely lose the general election but may not even get the nomination at the convention.

413 One prevailing theory suggests that the nickname "Jack" originated from the Middle English variation of "John," where "John" was commonly pronounced as "Jankin" or "Jackin." Over time, the affectionate suffix "-kin" was appended to names as a form of endearment, resulting in the nickname "Jack" as a shortened form of "Jankin." This linguistic shift exemplifies the organic and fluid nature of language, as phonetic changes and colloquial usage contributed to the evolution of the nickname.

I had an Uncle Junior, which was his family nickname as he had been named after his father. The first time I met him, that's what I called him. That's when my Mom told me that his real name was Cornelius.

446 Thing is

When women use their voice to be more serious or demanding, often the inflection and tone goes to a higher octave and they sound shrill. Men's voices can be loud, but because of the tenor, they sound authoritative.

And too many women will alter their accents to be folksy or "common." Which is stupid and makes them sound like pandering idiots.

Which is just...the worst sign for Kamala.

He's term limited and out of office in January. He's got no place else to go right now, and instead of trying to be VP, the Kamala campaign said that he had an eye on a 2026 Senate seat.

It is odd, because Jack is the English language version of French Jacques, German Joachim, Spanish Joaquin, and Italian Giacamo. But alone among the languages, English speakers never accepted it as a “proper” name and instead shoehorned it in and called it a nickname for John.

Yes, women need to lead not by copying men (or what they think men are like). Logical and reasonable is much better.

And your second point is also true - some of the historical greats in winning over the common man were aristocratic rather than common. They didn't pretend to be a commoner, they just gave respect and got it back in spades. Trump is that way.

Julius Caesar was similar - his family claimed descent from the Goddess Venus, and they were as aristocratic as you could get. Grew up in the slummy area of town, always had support from them and a great way with the centurions and legionaries.

The Dims think he has the chops to cast serious shade on Vance's hillbilly lineage.

Yeah, a rich Daddy's boy, a born to the blood nullity is going to do that. Good luck with that wish cast, simps.

Understand that the appellation "weird" that they are trying to tar Vance with is their way of seeking to put down hillbillies as being "others". Vance should embrace it and make it clear what is their game. It's just another variation on "We elites know far better what is good for you rubes that you are ever capable of comprehending, so do not even think of casting us down from our exalted perches."
