Fired Google Engineer James Damore: I Was Pointing Out Problems At Google | CNBC
My god we found the one guy who read the Terms and Conditions!!!
Johnny Gadget LOL
This man seems very honest and moderate in his views.
But right-wingers think he's their hero
Because he is a good guy with a good heart and stood up strong against all the hate he received by left-wingers who believe he’s a misogynistic antichrist.
@@patbenz4327 only because left-wingers made him their villain
Its america honesty views arnt welcome and were never welcome. What did he expect. America is racist af.
Yes he "seems" like he was just "trying to help".🤣
This guy is too smart to be interviewed by all these media extremists, but at least he has been able to voice his responses through these outlets. He is genuine and not looking to be baited by anyone. That stupid question at the end... "did you vote for Donald Trump?" How in the world is that relevant? Mind boggling.
Pay Attention HD, if you were literate you'd know that the past participle of "write" is "written".
Annie Rubbish, if you think that link disproves anything he said you obviously haven't read the memo. Everything he said was established science.
The CEO of youtube actually came out afterwards to make sure everyone knows the official position of the company is "there is no biological difference between the sexes".
it is a valid question because identity politics exist.
@@SSchithFoo Identity politics is for the weakest people, left or right.
Wow, "alt-right"-- she is so dismissive of reasonable interviewers who were the first to reach out to James Damore after his firing. CNBC should be ashamed of the bias in this interview.
"I use the term alt-right loosely" Well maybe you should stop doing that then.
She admits a second later she doesn't even understand what the term means. To many in the MSM, it seems that anything that's not firmly on the left is automatically "alt-right" 🤦♂️
lame attempts at trying to connect him with the alt right. also... if she's speaking about stephen crowder, jordan peterson and ben shapiro... they are not alt right. who has he done an interview with that is actually alt right??
Poor girl thinks shes smart enough to make this guy slip up. Room temp IQ vs software engineer isn't really a fair match up lol
I read his memo , I read psychology , all his claims are grounded in psychological study and is absolutely factual , is it so difficult to see that there are psychological differences between men and women ? People in Google must be crazy to fire this person who is nothing but logical.
soo true, and i don't why this women added race to the conversation because he didn't address any to do with race, the race problem in tech just comes don't to the fact that there aren't many black men in america who went to be in the tech field.
jesun paul please, this guy is a moron if he didn't think calling women neurotic wouldn't get him fired. he should be fired for being stupid and exercising poor judgement first then being a moderate sexist second
LOL you were on the CNN money video on this guy! :D
He's stupid for thinking idiots like you would actually take his work for the intellectual context it called for. Look up the definition of neuroticism in Psychology. Yeah.
Now look up suicide rates, anxiety rates, and depression rates between the sexes. YEAH.
Is this guy socially impaired. QUITE POSSIBLY, he's fumbling with expressing his basic ideas. He assumed, the biggest INFORMATION COMPANY ON THE PLANET, would take his work at an intellectual, informative view point instead of throwing emotions into it. Does he deserve to be fired for assuming his colleagues would hold themselves to a standard he was holding himself to? Certainly not.
+Amnilhilate3275 - I checked it out. Very interesting. Then I googled Jewish women & Jewish families. Even more interesting IMO.
He is such a likable guy.
This man is a hero, our generation's Rosa Parks.
Lol yeah, they are exactly the same.
He's almost certainly more genuine, i.e. more spontaneous.
Wow thats an interesting comment.
what?? why??
please say you are joking.
Funny how shes trying to get a rise out of him and he handles it eloquently...
YES for Mr Damore.
NO for the mainstream media.
Why would it be relevant who James voted for?
Will the people who leaked the memo to the outside be disciplined in anyway? I am thinking that leaking internal memos or airing the company's internal issues would be a bigger issue than the content of the memo.
One can not control who supports one's ideas or causes. If Kim Jong Un (the president of North Korea) were in 100% agreement with the memo, would James Damore have to apologize for that?
The main stream media reported on the memo, analysed it, provided their (condemning) opinion and even interviewed women engineers and from the industry. They DID NOT give James Damore a chance to be in camera and present his point (until now). If MSM did not give a channel to James, it is fine and legit that he would do so with other channels.
Well said.
Q: Why would it be relevant who James voted for?
A: When a pseudo-objective leftist journalist continues to encounter calm, civility, fairness, and rationality from a guest with conservative views, their brain begins to short circuit because they automatically anticipated a knuckle dragging ape like proto-human to show up at the interview. Surely no modern human could criticize Google's utopian social engineering.
For he who does not savor mandatory diversity training, surely must be a anachronistic creature from the paleolithic.
LMAO I love this guy....he's just the purest form of nerd... soo logical....ignores all the social miasma...
That is one of the many gifts of autism, my friend.
James Damore is the master of succinct.
The news media are treating him like a mad scientist who just discovered there are biological differences between men and women. It's insane!
It seems this young man has been fired by Google for expressing politically incorrect opinion, even though his claims are grounded in psychological study and is factual.
The politically incorrect part is only half the story. Why is he expressing his opinions on how his bosses could be better at their jobs so publicly to begin with? Do you get to do that at your job?
@@KingstonHawke Guess you don't know what leaked is.
@@godgodly1281 He intentionally shared his views with his coworkers. If you disagree with your superiors you swallow it, you don't circumvent them. In any industry, you get canned for that.
@@KingstonHawke He was asked for feedback. He sent it to various sources/higher ups. That's like my boss asking me what do you think we can do to get more men, women, different races in etc. What are the challenges etc etc. If I give you my feedback then you fire me, then I should not only be able to sue, but should win that case.
Also that's what's wrong with industries and why many of them are honestly half assed. Google in itself is half assed. It works great in many ways, but just as anybody who works or knows people in certain fields, certain companies aren't as "hyped" as you think they are.
All in all, he's an engineer, who fixes problems, they asked him for possible solutions as well as other people and he gave his 2 cents.
You: If you disagree with your superiors you swallow it, you don't circumvent them. In any industry, you get canned for that.
Me: This way of thinking works for either the military or a fascist. As someone who was in the military I can vouch for the first one for sure.
James, as you get older I hope you will learn that huge corporations Do Not like having their faults pointed out to them, the consequences are generally dire. What you wrote was factual and on point. Hope the best for you
I hope he learns to continue down the adventurous path of truth telling!
She was asking gotcha loaded questions instead of interacting with what he was communicating. FAKE NEWS!
Wow CNBC, almost 300 views. I'm so proud of you. Maybe one day people will watch your content.
UA-cam's view count often takes a long time to update due to their viewcount verification systems.
Robbie Steele Yet here you are.
It was a nice interview though.
I thought the interviewer was a little hostile.
haha
Someone should teach this Lady have to better frame leading questions, so it's not so obvious
I like how he sees through the "when did you stop hitting your wife" question at the end there.
they canceled the town hall because too many people at google are neurotic !
His 👃 is like 3d coming out of my PC
Her final question was an obvious attempt to entrap him.
"Women tend to be more neurotic at work."
Only at work?
This man just won my heart ❤️
Mine too.
He took Jordan Petersons advice and is going to the media!
This whole affair sounds like the plot of 1984. Any dissent is unacceptable?
Those interview questions were atrocious.
I think of myself as a liberal, but the questions asked in this interview are pathetic and uncalled for.
Very true, I even felt uncomfortable when they where asked.
But Damore handled them well.
His intelligence and guileless honesty got him through.
This man is a hero, our generation's
I thought I had a high tolerance for frustration and irritation. After watching this guy, I think I am in kindergarten. This reporter is something else
So the antifa, anarchist reporter thinks Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro are Alt-right. Has she ever watched any of their programming. Good interview James.
They are...
Kingston Hawke then Shapiro is apparently a Jewish Nazi that had family members die to real Nazis in the holocaust. Makes sense😂😂
Wow, I was thinking, hey this is a fairly unbiased and balanced interview, then all of a sudden we have to know if he is a Trump supporter? Link him to anything negative so you can discredit him! Lame, no more views for CNBC or CNN, this was the last time I give you guys the opportunity to have the benefit of the doubt. This guy is the most reasonable person in every room he goes into!
Smarter than the average bear; kudos James Damore; she kept on trying to bait you and you took her up the high road every time; you should solve the North Korea problem next week;
He got fired not because he was denied of his right to freedom of speech, it was because he threatened to affect shareholder value of the company and put the company and its CEO in a very difficult position. The result of that is him getting fired. He can exercise his rights on his free time, but once the company that he works for, who also provides him so many benefits, is put in a difficult position, he’s kicked out immediately. Overall, it sucks to be an adult.
Interviewer: James, why can't you just roll over and fit inside the box , I made you.?
Just say you are alt tight and the suffering will be over😂
Lmao the laugh. Me too james, me too
It's amazing how different this story is represented on both sides. If everyone understood what he said at 6:53+ - I think both men and women across the entire country would all feel a lot less "neurotic".
So much respect for this man.
We need to really govern and keep a watchful eye on these Ai, companys.....you would think our government would have caught something like this.....kinda scary......
People really ought to watch Damore's long-form interviews. Specifically the (full) Joe Rogan interview. The amount to which media lie is mind blowing, and the abuse he was subjected to at Google will hopefully result in a law suit victory and major structural changes at that company
That interviewer obviously has ZERO science background. Why is being a science illiterate okay? The fact that she was fixated on neuroticism even AFTER he explained it was sad.
VERY WELL SAID........ he didnt WALK nothing back..... she was trying to trap the man up, how disgusting....he straight lit her up.......yall notice how she would speed up her questions, and try to literally throw the man off, when hes just trying to give an honest interview of the situation. this lady is disgusting, and she needs to be taken off the air......frfr
What ever happened to verbal coaching and mentoring in the workplace? Google is the last organization I would expect to be a dictatorship. Wow Google. Wow.
You should actually read what some people who are employees and former employees of Google have to say. It's pretty oppressive. They actually have blacklists for those who don't tow the SJW line.
ThorsMjollnir0341 this sounds dangerously close to a lone dissenter being crushed by a regime. Very unfortunate what happened to this thoughtful young man, IMHO.
he handled himself well in this interview. Great job James. Prof. Peterson is not alt right. He is a classical liberal, he advocates we need the left and right to do things because one side (used to be) more creative,(the left), and the right who is more orderily. So we need each other to be innovative. one creates and co. and the other runs it.
Really? Asking him who he voted for? WTH?!
I absolutely agree with his assessment. Women and men are biologically different and thus they will never be equal. People must realize this in order to find a solution. I do not believe in equal system but I do believe in a fair system. We need a system that is fair to both gender and this does not necessary mean an equal system. Additionally, many unpleasant jobs that are high paying are occupied by men because of the social pressure on men to be the bread winners
You are 100% right. Difference DOES NOT mean one is 'better' in the big picture. Is blue a better color than red? No.
What dumb questions??!
What a thoroughly decent young man. After pillorying and misrepresenting him for a week the mainstream media finally decide to find out what he was trying to say. Better late than never.
This guy is right. It is not morally permissible for high ranking individuals with divisive tactics to ignore science. Google leadership should be held accountable for their bullying & decisive tactics. God help them.
Switch to DuckDuckGo
LMAO! You had to ask if he voted trump huh? God help us
where can i find the text he wrote about women?
That last question was just completely random
Surprising that the media is now putting him on
Whilst I think that since he is an engineer not a leader, he shouldn't be trying to steer company culture - if he wants to do that, he needs to work towards an executive position - if he doesn't want to do that, and he doesn't like the company culture, then he needs to find another employer - the fact that they fired him does kinda support his overall point, that Google is turning into an echo-chamber for the far left.
"do you support Trump?" - she was hoping to finally get something salacious out of this interview but failed again like all the attempts before.
I didnt know Alex Honnold was also an engineer
The left are so loving arent they. Well not if you disagree with them then they become the bullies they hate whilst not even been aware it seems?! Whoever thinks THIS guys was out to be malicious are the same kind of people who would shout at a dog because they think it looked at them funny!
I think a 20% drop in market share, and in stock price, will help Google to adjust their perspective.
James is getting better with interviews! Best one, yet. Retraction from the word "neuroticism" was good, because of its negative connotation. He should have stated for the record that he did not speak to anybody from the "Alt-right" and that labelling people "Alt-right" casually without knowing what it means, is not OK (to use Sundar´s words).
People asking about "Why he needed to bring his personal beliefs into the work place?" need to watch his interviews with Justin Peterson & Milo. The problem is people are not allowed to have their personal beliefs/opinions/conclusions even when science backs those ideas. In his interview with Milo its revealed that Google is going after conservatives and that should send chills though anyone even liberals.
The same people questioning Mr. Damore on his politics wouldn't dare ask the same of Mr. Kaepernick and the NFL. Quite hypocritical, indeed.
The closed environment of these companies will soon see them fail. It's bound to happen.
Literally this entire interview she's trying to make him "admit" that he's alt right or a trump supporter.
man if only i have some money , this is exatly the profile i was searching for my small company
This kid is great. More honest than some adults I know
This dude looks like he'd read the terms and conditions and decline
This guy completely destroyed her
"Did you vote for Donald Trump?" LMAO
Legend
It's one thing to say that women might have a hyperactive warning system compared to men because they have more to worry about, both physically and in terms of different things expected of their brains than for men who the workplace was invented for. Saying they have a mental difficulty by comparison is not constructive.
he could be 'engineering' into brunette 'media' more enthusiastically.
Why did cnbc publish this?
"Did you vote for Trump?" My god. Given the negative opinion CNBC has of Trump, the interviewer was just looking for anything to try to attack this guy.
Some guy with Google hacked my phone and sent me texts from Trump . Trump Jr and himself "James"
I don't know if people should be hired or promoted based on their resume, personality, or capability.
The reporter is like Kathy Newman 2
When Scandinavian countries , generally the most egalitarian, still have a disparity between men and women in corporate pay and leadership, it showed that when equality of opportunity is valued and made real by public policy, it frees up people to make choices. Men and women make different choices. Some of those choices are informed by biology. Women who succeed in the masculine world of either corporations, or an industrial construction site, they do so by taking on masculine characteristics. It can be shown that women with higher testosterone levels often exhibit those characteristics. They do not feminize the cultures; they adopt the characteristics of the culture. Assertiveness, decisiveness, being authoritative can be attributes that get promotions, not necessarily competency.
Quite ironic
People get promoted based on gender not on competence.....but the real cause of hostile work environment? This guy!
seems fair enough
Welcome to Yahoo!
james well done, you have balls to go through this and lose your job.
Incredible baiting tactics. I guess they don't work like they used to though.
Google is Gestapo.
The Nazis invented a majority of today's modern marvels. Google just fired someone based on that assertion, then they have lost a great mind!
poor man has been blacklisted
Google should make him a partner. End of story. CEO came out and said same thing he was fired for in regards to the company and women. Media rules tho...
Today he seemed to favor the tender side of Milo Yiannopolous, Meow-Meow!
Any attempt to sue google will be crushed by the fact that google is worth bazillions of dollars.
James Damore is a nice, honest young man, but desperately naive if he believes that any rapprochement is possible between the identity-politics fundamentalists who now dominate all the key institutions, public and private, and ordinary people who want to maintain commonsense notions of human relations. It is like trying to build a wooden bridge from terra firma to an island of unquenchable fire.
Its like 1 big nut house
James is a better writer than a speaker.
This reporter 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Daaaaaammmmnnnn
hes doesn't get out much......
He's not the most talkative of people is he.
what
way to lose all credibility with the '1st interviews being alt right, I use that loosely and don't know exactly what it means bit'
that and trying to coax click bait headlines with most of the questions is why he went to alternative media first
That bunch of reprobates at Google . I personally can't understand why you would want to work for Google to begin with. Start your own company like Google but make it heads,ABOVE.
this reporter is a nut
