His weren't getting rejected. I told him mine were. He was pissed. Wanted to tell everyone what was happening. I declined.

A smattering of people knew what was going on. Backchannels being what they are at former co. (lol IRC
#yallknowwhoyouare), it got around.22 retweets 29 likes -
Rejecting PBs was so unheard of, ppl didn't know it was possible. There was outrage when they found out. Shock that I wasn't talking abt it.

Meanwhile, spreadsheet still going, getting spread around, pointed questions being thrown at mgmt about sharing salary ranges (hahah no).

Most people agreed that it was A Good Thing. PBs kept rolling in. Rejections kept rolling out.

One PB eventually got approved. Way after everything died down. Because the person worded it in a way that was vary vague.

Any that were outright about the spreadsheet got rejected. 7 total in the end I think?

Higher ups still pissed. Some I used to support as an exec tech would pointedly not interact w/ me anymore. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Before I left, about 5% of former co. had shared their salary on that sheet. People asked for & got equitable pay based on data in the sheet

The world didn't end. Everything didn't go up in flames because salaries got shared. But shit got better for some people.

I explicitly gave ownership of the sheet to someone else before I left so it couldn't be taken over by mgmt when I was gone (can happen).

I am thinking of this because of everyone celebrating the fact that Google put Ida B. Wells in the doodle yesterday.

Ida B. Wells was great. She did stuff to affect change of such a magnitude that if I'm half the woman she was, I'm doing pretty good.

I don't claim to come close, but from time to time, I do stuff that will make things better for people at the expense of the establishment.

I'm a pretty big believer in justice and fairness and will fight for both if necessary.

Fighting for justice & fairness INSIDE Google doesn't go over well. Salary sharing is only 1 example. Blogger porn. Real names. Many others.

Shit WILL hit the fan if you tell a racist (a well documented racist) to go fuck themselves though. In defense of the racist, obvi.

Guaranteed that if Ida Wells were alive & working at Google today, there'd be many private calendar meetings focused on "her future" there.
