The leaked documents were posted here by Project Veritas. The easiest way to read them is to download the Everything.zip file.
They total hundreds, maybe over a thousand, pages, so it’ll take time for independent researchers or journalists (#mediajackals will try to ignore them, of course) to review them. But here’s a sample. In the Hiring Practices directory, there’s the “Diversity & Inclusion - solving a hard problem.pdf” file, which says:
In GCE, we have strong level of D&I participation from our Googlers - in fact this can be a proxy of the level of psychological safety in the team and their ability to bring the best of themselves to work. We should measure, track and recognize these participants with the aim of having the majority of the org participate in some D&I related activities. This is a good indicator of whether D&I is sticking to the DNA of the org. For example, each site in my org has volunteers for Diversity Allies who help to spark activities such as - celebrating festivities, organizing Gratitude days, and making everyone feels represented.
I wonder what a “Gratitude Day” is, and whether it’s mandatory? Somehow I doubt they’re expressing Gratitude toward conservatives, or libertarians, or traditional Christians, or straight white men.
From another document:
We’ve held a series of events in multiple sites geared toward open dialogue and building empathy, including UntownHalls, Meet & Greets, Listening Lunches, a Trans @ Google training, and, most recently, Diversity & Inclusion Week. Teams reported that the inclusion activities were the highlight of the week. If you have not already done it try this reflection exercise with your team…
Anyone want to bet that “Diversity & Inclusion,” which includes obligatory Trans training, somehow fails to be diverse enough to include conservatives, or libertarians, or traditional Christians, or straight white men?
The closest to mainstream media coverage today’s Everything.zip document dump has received is this Daily Beast article, which takes a deep dive into… precisely none of the documents.
Instead the author of the article, Will Sommer, spends the entirety of his article reviewing the former Zack Vorhies’ social media history and accusing him of anti-Semitism and belief in unproven conspiracy theories. Those accusations may be true or false (though after the suicide of Jeffrey Epstein, which probably surprised Epstein himself as much as anyone else, conspiracy theories got a bit of a boost). But they have nothing to do with the contents of the Everything.zip files and what they reveal about a near-trillion dollar company.
You might expect self-professed “journalists” to be interested in leaked internal documents, right? Guess there’s a #mediajackals tag on this site for a reason…
