Google sack anti-diversity employee - how discrimination makes staff suffer

The Google employee who wrote an internal memo attributing the tech industry’s gender imbalance to biological differences between men and women, has been sacked.

The Google Engineer, identified as James Damore, lambasted the online giant’s diversity and inclusion measures, the silencing of conservative political views and attributed biological differences to the shortage of women in tech.

Female employees make up just 20% of the technical workforce according to Google’s most recent diversity report.

The 10-page document circulated within the company and was then leaked to the press, causing a furore and prompting Google Executives to take action.
