Nobody has said there is. Right now these are only allegations, though. It’s not an open-and-shut case until they are substantiated.

It seems a little odd to me that he filed the complaint without getting a notice of right to sue from EEOC first, because he could be waiting 6 months for that before he’s in a position to amend the complaint. That seems to create a pretty good argument to stay the suit until he’s gotten the notice (or decides not to pursue a Title VII. Makes me wonder if he’s hoping to get a quick settlement before then.

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.

This is not widespread. You need to stop.

I’ve worked for 4 Fortune 500 companies in the last 20 years. In HR. It is 100% common and widespread.

Google filed its answer tonight, which denies he received the equity awards he described.

That is the item they chose to deny? It’s easy to prove who is telling the truth.

They denied lots of things, but ina clearly targeted way. They also deny that he reported any harassment to Google, and that any employees witnessed any harassment.

Bold. Like NBC claiming no one went to HR about Matt Lauer.

Many of their denials were paragraphs specifically alleging he said X to this person, or that person said Y. So presumably Google’s lawyers interviewed all of these people before denying the allegations. If there were any questions about the veracity, the safer course would have been to plead insufficient information to confirm or deny those individual allegations.

Not a random college in that sector.

Big Tech hires often from Providence college? It has a 60% acceptance rate, so I guess I'll sign up my kids!

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.

In IT it is very common to job jump every 1-3 years, especially at these companies.

Fire her immediately.

He was fired because he was opposed to diversity. He didn't want to hire outside of his good old white boys club.

Google denied the allegations that the firing had anything to do with diversity on his team.

Good for him. She sounds like a sexual predator and had she been a man, she would be labeled as such. Has she been fired yet?

Miller is still a Google employee.

Has Miller filed a countersuit for defamation?
