The irony in the Damore case is that many tech companies have struggled to infuse their purported values through inclusive hiring and, in some cases, pay practices — for everyone other than white men.
How the court decides Damore’s case may be, if anything, interesting to watch. According to The Verge, a few of the characterizations claimed in the suit seem “debateable.”
Males still head up most corporations, dominate the C-suite, earn higher salaries than most women and non-white workers and are promoted at higher rates than most employees in general. Employers, led by HR, don’t need to wait for court decisions to step up their inclusive hiring practices and discipline those who violate zero-tolerance policies.
