据报道，谷歌员工詹姆斯达莫尔（James Damore）因“延续性别陈规定型观念”而被解雇。这位高级软件工程师撰写了一份长达10页的“宣言”，谴责谷歌的多元化努力，并声称从生物学角度讲，**比**更倾向于在科技行业工作。在给谷歌员工的一份内部备忘录中，首席执行官桑达尔·皮查伊（Sundar Pichai）表示，他已经缩短了家庭假期，以便重返工作岗位，解决宣言中提出的问题。

皮查伊认为，“备忘录中的大部分内容值得商榷，”他指出，“在我们的工作场所推进有害的性别陈规定型观念，从而越过了界限。”具体地说，皮查伊说，“暗示我们的一组同事具有使他们在生理上不太适合这项工作的特质，是冒犯性的，是不好的。”

皮查伊现在将面临一项艰巨的任务，即在他所说的“谷歌人表达自己的权利”的大力支持与那些在此过程中违反谷歌行为准则的人之间取得平衡。据报道，尽管绝大多数谷歌员工对达莫尔的内部文件表示反感，但并非所有员工都不同意。”显然，作为一个群体，还有很多事情需要讨论，”皮查伊说，“包括我们如何为所有人创造一个更具包容性的环境。”你可以阅读Sundar Pichai的完整备忘录，如下所示：

This has been a very difficult time. I wanted to provide an update on the memo that was circulated over this past week.

First, let me say that we strongly support the right of Googlers to express themselves, and much of what was in that memo is fair to debate, regardless of whether a vast majority of Googlers disagree with it. However, porti*** of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace. Our job is to build great products for users that make a difference in their lives. To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK. It is contrary to our basic values and our Code of Conduct, which expects “each Googler to do their utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of haras**ent, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination.”

The memo has clearly impacted our co-workers, some of whom are hurting and feel judged based on their gender. Our co-workers shouldn’t have to worry that each time they open their mouths to speak in a meeting, they have to prove that they are not like the memo states, being “agreeable” rather than “assertive,” showing a “lower stress tolerance,” or being “neurotic.”

At the same time, there are co-workers who are questioning whether they can safely express their views in the workplace (especially those with a minority viewpoint). They too feel under threat, and that is also not OK. People must feel free to express dissent. So to be clear again, many points raised in the memo—such as the porti*** criticizing Google’s trainings, questioning the role of ideology in the workplace, and debating whether programs for women and underserved groups are sufficiently open to all—are important topics. The author had a right to express their views on those topics—we encourage an environment in which people can do this and it remains our policy to not take action against anyone for prompting these discussi***.

The past few days have been very difficult for many at the company, and we need to find a way to debate issues on which we might disagree—while doing so in line with our Code of Conduct. I’d encourage each of you to make an effort over the coming days to reach out to those who might have different perspectives from your own. I will be doing the same.

I have been on work related travel in Africa and Europe the past couple of weeks and had just started my family vacation here this week. I have decided to return tomorrow as clearly there’s a lot more to discuss as a group—including how we create a more inclusive environment for all.
