Former Google Exec Blasts Company's Bizarre Cult of Diversity

He described one diversity training that split employees into groups like brown people and homos and encouraged the participants to yell stereotypes at each other, such as Promiscuous!

Susan Collins after Google allegedly pushed him out of his role last year, now LaJeunesse is publicly taking the company to task claiming that the firm mistreated minority employees during his decade-long employment at the firm.

He goes on to claim that he was fired from Google after he pushed a human rights framework within the company over the course of many years.

Google has denied this with a spokesperson stating that LaJeunesses former jobwas eliminated as part of the broad reorganization of our policy team.

LaJeunesse claims that he was removed fromGoogles Diversity and Inclusion Council after he expressed concerns over a diversity exercise that made him and two women of color uncomfortable.

LaJeunesse, who is homosexual, said that he spoke out against the exercise as it devolved into employees shouting pejorative statements about gay people in the homos group. The exercise required that employeescome up with a list of stereotypes and shout them out into the room, resulting in a group of people shouting, Promiscuous!

LaJeunesse stated that he later spoke to a South Asian woman who was so upset by the exercise that she began to cry, telling him that she wasnt sure which group she would be welcomed into, and discovered during the exercise that she was not welcome in the brown people group.

LaJeunesse stated that he pressured the HR department to hold a follow-up meeting on the event and learn from the mistakes made, but no further group meetings were organized.

A Google spokesperson did not deny LaJeunesses version of events but instead claimed that the company rigorously investigates all allegations of misconduct and discrimination.
