Ex-Google engineer Erica Baker fought back against discriminatory employment practices when she organized the creation of a spreadsheet of her co-workers’ salaries to encourage transparency. Google’s management was obviously displeased and punished Baker, who is a black woman, by withholding peer bonuses — but didn’t withhold the bonuses from her white male colleague who also helped organize the effort. She gained deserved recognition when she published an essay on her experience as a black woman at Google on Medium. She also shared her story on Twitter.
On Saturday, Baker, who has since joined Slack as an engineer, took to the social media site again to respond to messages she’s received from other dissatisfied Googlers. The message was bleak.
