I guess you can never be too ‘woke’ or maybe the pro-diversity model that demands you hire people by race and not by abilities doesn’t work. I don’t see how putting an overqualified individual in a low position based on their skin color could go wrong, do you? That’s just what black employees at Google say happened according to the lawsuit released by Daily Mail:
“April Curley, 34, began working for Google in 2014 but was fired in September 2020.
On Friday, she said managers at the search engine company actively thwarted their career ambitions — steering them to lower-level jobs, paying them less and denying them opportunities to advance because of their race.
‘While Google claims that they were looking to increase diversity, they were actually undervaluing, underpaying and mistreating their black employees,’ said Ben Crump, Curley’s lawyer Never Enough: Woke Google Sued by Black Employees for ‘Racism’ a high-profile civil rights advocate who has represented the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, among others.”
In a TikTok video, Curley blamed allegedly racist attitudes at Google for the high dropout ratio of black employees at the company, alleging that the company “hates” black women.
“Black women are solely seen as DEI experts, and are expected to advance diversity initiatives across the organization internally and externally,” said Curley.
“Black women are sold a dream that if they do all the things, then they’ll be promoted. And that’s not what the data shows. They hate us.”

Another employee told outlets that Google called security on him when he arrived at work. The irony? He was a security officer for the company at the time. Apparently, the Karens at Google thought he looked out of place…
It looks like the ‘woke’ hiring model is finally coming home to roost. What’s worrisome is that the White House is currently using the same model to select officials and lawmakers.
