What does this mean for Facebook?
Put yourself in the shoes of company owner / management, and think, what would you do?
Now, do you still support these people chanting?
Your team need to see a hover board made by hacksmith industries
Unionizing gives different results in different places. It went great in Germany but led to lazy workers who gets paid a lot in India.
Amazon warehouse workers unite! Hoping you have any strength left to read this…
That was NOT what the James Damore post was about. He argued that women were less likely to CHOOSE to go into coding/tech. Not they their biology made them ill suited for it.
This has been backed by studies for years and can be clearly observed in the very few women choosing to study in STEM fields.
Zoe killed it! I prefer her as The Big Picture’s host. I also am pretty shocked about this news, and interested by all of your comments!
This is an absolute tragedy. And not just for google but for all software developers. I will never ever join a union.
As many here have implied, this was never about James Damore being factually wrong or against diversity. This was about Google caving into the modern-day…social/political correctness mob.
One day the mob will lose its control and sane Men and Women will look back on these events and hopefully learn from them. We can only hope…
Form the Unions across states and countries where offices are.
You’re telling me the real people behind companies aren’t the owners, but the workers? Wow, I wonder where this idea comes from, lol.
Google Tristan Harris
did you fact-check the piece about TVCs consisting of more ppl of color? I have my doubts.
The exploitation of workers has gone too far to handle..this is good news
uber drivers unionizing would be absurd it’s not designed to be a full time job it’s flexible, and drivers work for multiple apps…
Google has changed.
I support the union
I hope that Amazon union in Alabama takes off. It will help union more industries every where.
is this a video to include bloopers ?
PLEASE keep us updated
Battle of the narcissist!
If you can believe it this video inspired me. I was the second move Foreman for Google’s NYC campus. Perhaps you could say one of the humblest of workers at Google. 6 months ago I joined alphabet workers Union. I’m a dues paying member or was of the alphabet workers Union… And as a dues paying member in good standing I felt free to speak my mind. I wanted this Union to be a platform where even the lowliest Google worker can speak to the most distinguished Googler on equal terms without fear of repercussions.. I guess when you’re even lower than a two-tier system opinions don’t matter. But don’t take my word for it ask the Union how their relationship the teamsters is. Let me rephrase that…just one Teamster.
Lies about James Damore.
Um unions Are more commonly associated with Electricians Plumbers Pipe fitters Welders, millwright, boilermaker, steam fitters , coalminer, ect..
She said teachers, fireman lol.
I said real union workers.
The unions that will kill you for crossing picket line.
Yes unionize !
