so because you were harassed and chose to be ok with it, he must be ok with it too? that's some f-ed up thinking. No one should be groped especially by their supervisors at work events. JFC, when will men get this? You won't even shut it down when it happens to another man. |
His supervisor is a jerk and a creep and gross. |
Both these things can (and it sounds like are) true. |
| This is a great thread to reference when posters scream that men aren’t treated differently on this site. |
Not his supervisor. They’re peers. |
What does that have to do with this lawsuit? |
He has no technical skills Google needs, he has bounced from dying project to dying project — he was a lucky early hire who probably coasted on his “executive presence”, height and good looks to rest and vest, and now that the gravy train has ended he is scrambling. Just look at his LinkedIn. It’s all there. |
Per the filing, he has received annual equity awards of “at least $250,000” every year since 2016. If they supposedly fired him for cause, they may have clawed back the unvested portion of the awards. Regardless, he alleges that he was instructed to fire a subordinate for being a white male in order to make room for a woman on the team. That is an illegal command to give an employee and would have created a personal legal liability for him. |
This happens so often to support diversity goals. Good for him for publicizing this. |

The Lipstick Alley commentary on this is incredible 😂

It's weird that the loser co-worker was throwing herself at him then. Why was she so desperate? Now her name is tarnished as well. |
That is inane. I feel dumber for having read any of it. |
| The complaint says he was fired on August 5, but his LinkedIn profile says he worked for Google until September 2022, at which point he moved to Klick Health. That is more consistent with a quiet layoff (additional time as an employment to facilitate a job search) than a termination for cause (which is usually immediate). |
This is not widespread. You need to stop. |
Google filed its answer tonight, which denies he received the equity awards he described. |
