Jalon Hall was featured on Google’s corporate social media accounts “for making #LifeAtGoogle more inclusive!” She says the company discriminated against her on the basis of her disability and race.
Disabled people aren’t naive. We know we are going to encounter employment discrimination in every job we take. We still need to work, and if we cannot persuade an employer to act legally by the normal means (which in a non-union U.S. job is usually escalating from manager, to HR, to legal and public relations threats) then we will have to follow through with PR and legal battles. That is not unethical, and I honestly struggle to understand how you wrote those words.
Wow, I wasn’t aware that every employer in the world actively discriminated as much as Google does. I had no idea because there’s zero news coverage that you have zero options. You should get the word out!
If you are unaware that disabled employees face employment discrimination in every job, and that a disabled Black woman knows that she will face at least some discrimination in every job, and that Google – bad as they are – is not even on the same planet as “the worst”, then there is no word that will reach you, my smoking friend.
Good luck with all your lawsuits. You must be really rich by now what with literally no allies and no employers ever trying to do the right thing. No wonder you support FAANG companies!
I’ve heard lots of MAMAMA variants but, apparently, per wikipedia, the motley fool suggested “Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Nvidia, and Adobe” and now, for the first time in my life, I think the motley fool said something great.
Jalon Hall is a Black disabled woman. There is a zero percent chance that she was naive about her odds of facing discrimination in the workplace. She knew perfectly well that she was going to face discrimination in the workplace. By your rule, her only two choices are “remain unemployed and starve” or “go work somewhere and be discriminated against in silence.”

Winning accessibility lawsuits is almost unheard of, although the NFB has clocked some impressive settlements, most notably against Target.
I don’t support FAANG companies, and have told recruiters from Google to yeet themselves into the sun multiple times.
FAANG? What is this, 2021? Lol Netflix.
Well if you drop Netflix from the acronym it kinda becomes a slur.
I’m just happy “MANGA” didn’t catch on. Japanese comics don’t deserve to ve associated with giant tech corps.
