I find it rather sad that, before writing this comment I had to reconsider what I wanted to say , because, as a young engineer, I am worried how my opinions will effect my job prospects.
When I am afraid to say what I believe, for fear or ramifications, it flies directly in the face of what Google and others profess to trying to do: 'create a work environment in which all people, regardless of political affliation, opinion, or creed feels safe.'
The worst part for me, is that many in the valley (particularly on university campuses like Stanford's) have used the disguise of promoting diversity to battle ideas they disagree with. There is not enough emphasis on diversity of ideas.
Too late. I already took an screen shot of your comment and will post it public tomorrow and they will fire you. (so sad this can be true for some of the people commenting here, I am even scared that my comments in this topic here can have consequences in the future).
young engineer, women, white, black,... we are all worried because of this event. The people who was scared to talk before now are not going to talk for sure.
