"Leaked Google Video After Trump’s Win Adds to Pressure From Conservati..."


  

          

The irony is that Breitbart is attempting to feign concern over something that they themselves do every damn day. It's the same shit over and over with these neoconfederates, blame other people for doing exactly what you're doing. The owner of L Brands which owns Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works sent out a message to his employees speaking out against Trump back after the Charlottesville incident and again after Trump called nonwhite countries "shitholes." He just flipped from being a Republican to being a Democrat.

Someone said, "If I was a conservative in that company I'd be really uncomfortable after experiencing that." Welcome to the real world where 99.5% of corporate boards have zero ideological, racial, or gender diversity. You think the NFL players subjected to the jingoistic whims of billionaire white men are comfortable constantly being told to shut up and play? The women who work in film and television are comfortable with working for child molesters and sexual deviants while being made to undress in every casting call?

The hourlong video of a companywide meeting in November 2016 shows a parade of senior executives from Google and its parent company, Alphabet, expressing dismay about the election. Google often holds all-hands gatherings it calls T.G.I.F. meetings. They are usually streamed over the internet to company offices all over the world.

Among the people who spoke were Sundar Pichai, Google’s chief executive, and Ruth Porat, Alphabet’s chief financial officer. Both appeared to become emotional, choking up while speaking. Sergey Brin, a Google co-founder, said that he was “deeply offended” by the election of Mr. Trump and that his victory was in conflict with many of the company’s values. Mr. Brin, who immigrated from the Soviet Union as a child, said, “As an immigrant and refugee, I certainly find the selection deeply offensive.”

Also, Eileen Naughton, Google’s head of people operations, said some conservative employees had told her that they were uncomfortable with being open about their political views. She encouraged employees to be tolerant of other views.

“We value perspectives from all sides of the political spectrum,” she said.

The meeting, described in earlier media accounts, including in The New York Times, felt “like a funeral,” Mike Cernovich, a right-wing media personality and agitator, said on Twitter after Breitbart posted the video.
