It's ok. I love the way it hurts

Srs response:

Can you explain the difference between publicly disagreeing with a company's policies, as seen in the recent Google Memo thread, and speaking out against fellow cops?

Easily: The Law. If a cop has something to speak out against on another cop, it's about laws being broken.

Now are you seriously equating police silence in shootings to some fuckwit blasting a company policy? Seriously?

Being old and believing this is fucking pathetic.

Shut the fuck up badge licker

What's the point of being straight or bi? Or whatever the fuck Das is. I try not to think about where other guys stick their penis or whatever women do or don't stick in their vaginas.

Good to hear you're alright.

Did someone say something about niggas and your anus?

Probably Apocalypse Now

RAQQA, Syria — A recent honor graduate of the Islamic State Suicide Bomber School of Excellence has publicly voiced concerns over the sexual experience of the 72 women awaiting him in the afterlife, sources confirmed today.

“I’ve never been with a woman before, so there’d be no sexual skill between all of us virgins,” said Amar Hussein, expressing fears about his planned first time with 72 female virgins. “I’d get to the afterlife and disappoint all of them forever.”

According to sources, Hussein asked his instructors if perhaps the virginity of his eternal harem was negotiable.

Mohamed Gadesh, who shares a barracks room with Hussein, is confident that whether the women are virgins or not, they will refuse to sleep with Hussein in Paradise. “He’s a desperate, confused, lonely teenager from Iraq who’s about to die a virgin,” Gadesh told reporters in a Skype call. “It doesn’t matter if they belong to him. They’d sooner get with an infidel than bang Hussein.”

According to reports, Hussein has approached religious leaders to clarify the fine print in the Holy Koran.

“Are they virgins because they’ve been saving themselves for a pipe-hitting martyr like me, or are they just prudes?” he asked. “I mean, the virgins could be a bunch of old women who’ve never taken off their burqas, and I’m not prepared to jihad myself for that.”

Despite some doubts, Hussein still looks forward to blowing his bomb load soon.

“Once we get the details straight, I should be set forever. With so many women, I’m really hoping the gals might, you know, try something kinky like touching their exposed ankles together in front of me.”

Gadesh countered that, if Hussein’s girls have any bisexual tendencies, they will “obviously turn lesbian before considering a threesome with a scrub like him.”

Most religious experts agree that, for the selfish and misguided act of suicide bombing, Hussein will most likely be one of the virgin victims of a more manly terrorist’s never-ending sweaty gangbang.

If Google didn't punish him, they would be accused of silently giving consent to his opinion. Regardless of what he said, the safest course of action is to just fire him.

So challenging his points in an open discussion was not an option at all? Is a representative of Google explicitly stating that they do not agree with or endorse his memo not evidence enough that they actually do not agree with or endorse his memo? You're telling me that firing him was the only way for Google to express that they did not agree with or endorse him?

I am absolutely not fond of the idea that an employee is not allowed to openly criticize the company/corporation they work for, and I do not like the precedent that is set by firing those who do openly criticize their employer.

There are ways to criticize your employer besides an open forum.

Of course there are. I still think an employee should absolutely be able to do so if they are reasonable and constructive.

Is posting this to a company open forum either reasonable or constructive?

You don't challenge a standing company policy in an open company forum, mass distributed memo or mass blast email. You will be fired.

Why?

Every company has an ethos. An identity. You probably don't understand how the policy you are questioning fits into that, or how public perception plays into that policy. By questioning a wide ranging policy, you are creating a situation where management has to take notice of you and what you said. In many cases, your job is done. Only rarely is it something that is listened to.

Google's policy on hiring is directly tied to their ethos. That means this topic was best challenged either anonymously, or in the correct method (ie a memo to his supervisor or HR)

If Google didn't punish him, they would be accused of silently giving consent to his opinion. Regardless of what he said, the safest course of action is to just fire him.

So apparently his memo was a response to a diversity meeting google held where they asked for responses?

I think it's pretty fucked that google wouldn't allow criticism of their policy by their employees. If they disagree with the criticism they receive, then refute the points it makes. Allow everyone to put forth their ideas and let them duke it out intellectually to see which ideas can endure. Firing the guy was truly pathetic to me, regardless of how many people complained about the memo. Especially if it really was written as a response to a meeting in which they asked for responses.

It wasn't his opinions. It was him posting them in a full company forum. It's the equivalent of emailing everyone in the company.

Which is still absolutely pathetic and appalling to me. Don't agree with the man? Have an honest discussion about his ideas.

And sorry, I don't buy that his opinion wasn't a factor either. If the memo he wrote detailed an opinion that was more agreeable with the people that complained and those who decided to fire him, then I suspect that he wouldn't have been fired at all.

That's not how corporate culture works. It doesn't matter what you disagree with, you don't blast the whole company with your opinion.

Honestly, the points he made were perfectly reasonable and legitimate, and it's perfectly fine is someone wants to disagree with them. The two opposing sides should have a dialogue and see which ideas can endure being challenged.

 I understand that Google doesn't like open criticism from their employees. That much is abundantly obvious, but regardless, I think it's pathetic and they get no respect from me or a great deal of other people for doing what they did.

Again, his opinion is irrelevant. It's how he presented it.

I get it, you guys think it's about what he said. You want a discussion on that. But it is not why he was fired. It wasn't him challenging the authority on Affirmative Action. It was that he questioned a standing company policy in a company wide forum. It doesn't matter who you work for, or what policy you challenge, you will always get fired for this.

I suppose there is the possibility that pidgin languages will evolve over time into their own distinct languages that are based on the two that the pidgin language was originally composed of.

It`s easier to learn English and communicate with majority of the world though. It`s not that hard.

So, English is the official language of the world?
