Google Manager Said Company Must Stop ‘Fake News’ Because ‘That’s How Trump Won’
Mike Wacker, a software engineer at Google, published on social media a redacted email he claims he received from a fellow employee in 2017, which alleged political bias at the company. According to Wacker’s post, his colleague at Google wrote:
Also, I posted a comment on a meme regarding fake news on Search and someone reported it to [Human Resources]. I didn’t say I was in favor or against, just cautioned that we need to be car[e]ful. My manager brought it up in our 1:1 last week. Made me feel very uncomfortable for having an opposing view. He said we need to stop hate [speech] and fake news because that’s how Trump won the election. [emphasis ours]
I obviously didn’t say anything and just wanted it to end. I [redacted] would like to see all managers be required to take political bias training.
The employee also alleged the existence of official training courses at Google dedicated to “bashing conservatives and Trump supporters.”
