I do worry that the folks who believe the google guy had a real concern about the business consequences of google’s affirmative action policy are going to go broke someday trying to buy the Brooklyn bridge
mitigatedchaos: Eh, I do suspect it’s a drag on the company, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near enough to kill it.
What I want to know is, what is the business case for google donating 4 million to refugee-related organizations? This clearly has no benefit for google and I am very concerned that they would waste their money like this.
Right, right, PR blah blah. Manifestbro was also writing for an intended audience, blah blah.
But of course, the people saying it has business consequences aren’t actually that naive.
If you work for Google, it’s relevant. And if you have shares in Google, it’s relevant.
The consequences, though, aren’t limited to just Google. If Manifestbro is correct, it’s potentially a drag on the whole sector, depending on just what it is you want out of that sector.
