Fired Google engineer compares high-paid tech job to Soviet forced labor
https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/10/16127968/fired-google-engineer-compares-high-paid-tech-job-to-soviet-forced-labor
Former Google engineer James Damore, who was fired for
distributing a memo suggesting women are not biologically
suited for certain types of work, is now branding himself as a
brave truth teller. In what appears to be his new Twitter
account, Damore can be seen wearing a shirt with the word
"Goolag," a play on "Google" that means to suggest the Silicon
Valley search company is something like the infamous Soviet
camps where prisoners were worked and starved to death as part
of one of the 20th century's worst genocides. Google, which
provides free meals, massages, and fitness classes at its
Mountain View, California headquarters, pays engineers like
Damore a typical salary of $162,000, according to Glassdoor,
not including extra compensation like healthcare benefits,
retirement savings, and equity. The company also offers its
employees training opportunities, including volunteer sessions
on subjects like diversity and unconscious bias. You know,
just like a Gulag.
