James Damore, the Google engineer fired in 2017 for his views on gender diversity, has agreed to drop his lawsuit against the company.
The dropping of the lawsuit, which Damore filed in 2018 and rattled Silicon Valley, went largely unnoticed last week (written May 12, 2020). Bloomberg and just a few other outlets had the story, a far cry from the media attention Damore received when he was fired and when he filed the lawsuit.
Bloomberg reported that Damore and three other men, who either worked for or applied for jobs at Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, asked a court to dismiss their class-action lawsuit in a joint written request with Google.
Harmeet Dhillon, who represented the men, told Bloomberg that neither she nor the men could say anything about the situation as part of their agreement with Google. When asked by The Daily Wire why the word “settlement” was missing from news reports about the dismissal, Dhillon said “that language was negotiated between the parties and that is what I can say. And what they are permitted to say.”

Dhillon told Bloomberg that the lawsuit still had an impact, causing Silicon Valley companies to add protections for workers with differing viewpoints. Still, Dhillon doubted Google has changed its ideas about conservatives.

Нет, думаю, ему выплатили что-то. Но на условии неразглашения, потому что Google боится шумихи по поводу "поддержки мизогинии".
