no...in this case the question is whether or not he violated the “employee code of conduct” at all...

I’m not saying that he’s right. In fact, you’re right in that he probably will not be able to prove bias. But, given what we know - it is plausible that he did experience bias and he has a right to try and prove his case. I’m not sure why you think he shouldn’t be. Either you’re sexist, and think that because of his…

Yep, exactly, which is why it then becomes far more plausible that in a specific case, the owner of Walmart - under intense media scrutiny - sent a memo pressuring them to convict the next white shoplifting suspect they find - regardless of whether or not he was actually guilty.

Yep, that’s a good framing. His actual claim was pressure from administrators and the the officials not following their own guidelines. So, yes, if he also had evidence of the Director of the company sending a memo saying “We need to keep our diversity numbers up, just get rid of him” and the company’s policy required…

OK sure, with some modifications. First, the black man chose to keep his statement sealed, along with any evidence that Walmart purportedly relied on, and this happens to be in an all-black neighborhood, the black man is the owner of Walmart, and the white man is banned from shopping at any grocery store in the…

On a broader, societal, level - sure. Doesn’t mean that there can’t be specific cases of individual discrimination.

Setting aside he wasn’t actually found guilty by a court of law with due process, let’s frame it as “an African-American man was punished after being found guilty of a robbery he claims he didn’t do, just had the word of a white victim against his (and the actual statement against him is kept confidential), and he was…

Not really, his basis is that the university did not take a sexual assault complaint seriously (as a crime for both the victim and the accused) and did not investigate it thoroughly. His argument is roughly equivalent to arguing that a court automatically sided with a white “victim” of a robbery, and was just…

It is not sealed against her. She holds the right to keep her story confidential or not. So, yes, it is biased because it gives her the choice about whether to keep things public or private, whereas he was not given that choice. I’m guessing if she decided to keep the record sealed, it’s because her side of the story…

It’s not so much the “strict morality code” but about violating the privacy rights of victims, even up to notifying parents of victims. You have a right to report crimes you are the victim of, and that right should not be predicated on losing your other rights to privacy.

I think the Donald Trump joke went over your head...

Well for one, it’s how many cuts of 10% you can make. Second, the budgets you control at work are probably not controlled by mandates by a group of 500 people who don’t know anything about what you do.

Actually, probably more so than Apple, Nintendo is probably best known for competing using slower hardware but focusing on the actual experience. Everything from the game cube to the Wii has been underpowered and using outdated tech compared to the playstations and xboxes, yet did spectacularly well (particularly the…

It is when those reductions are to places/agencies where the skin is already right against the bone.

I don’t think you’re thinking hard enough.

Oh, I think you’re misunderstanding my point. I was just responding to the OP that claimed not digitizing and archiving all this information sooner was a waste.

Well according to the logic of this headline, you’d have to bake your own bread, using replicas of 250 year old ovens/tools, slaughter and cure your own ham, and ferment your own cheese.

I think you’re mixing up PG with PC...

Yes, exactly. People who don’t deal with massive operations on a day to day basis don’t understand scale. They abstract it down to $100 bills, and simplified but wildly inaccurate analogies.

Well that’s what happens when budgets are cut to the bone, and some republican house member sees $10 million for new computers and conversion and thinks “My $500 HP computer works fine, and my nephew showed me some free software to convert my cds to mp3s. This is obvious waste. Cut.”
