Google engineer claims he was bullied, fired for being a conservative
谷歌工程師聲稱他被欺負，因為他是保守派而被解僱。
An ousted conservative Google engineer claims he was the victim of the tech giant’s systematic 「bullying」 of its more right-leaning employees, according to a new report.
一份新的報告稱，一位被解僱的保守派谷歌工程師聲稱，他是這家科技巨頭系統性地「欺負」其右傾員工的受害者。
Trump supporter Kevin Cernekee was fired from the liberal Silicon Valley company in June 2018, which he alleges was over his outspoken criticism on internal message boards of others with opposing views, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.
據《華爾街日報》周四報道，特朗普的支持者凱文•塞內基於2018年6月被這家自由派矽谷公司解僱，他聲稱，這是因為他在內部留言板上直言不諱地批評了其他持反對意見的同事。
「Historically, there’s been a lot of bullying at Google,」 Cernekee said. 「There’s a big political angle, and they treat the two sides very differently.」
塞內基說:「從歷史上看，谷歌有很多恃強凌弱的現象。這是一個很大的政治角度，他們對待雙方的態度非常不同。」
Cernekee, 41, who was hired in 2015 to work on Google’s laptop lines, began ruffling feathers early on, including when he defended a coworker who suggested the company shouldn』t take into account race or gender when making hires.
現年41歲的塞內基(cernekee)於2015年受僱於谷歌(Google)的筆記本電腦生產線，他很早就開始惹惱別人，包括在他為一位建議公司在招聘時不應考慮種族或性別的同事辯護時。
「A bunch of people jumped on him and started cussing him out and calling him names,」 Cernekee said. 「And then his manager showed up in the thread and denounced him in public. I was very disturbed by that.」
「一群人跳到他身上，開始罵他，罵他的名字，」塞內基說。「然後他的經理在帖子裡，公開譴責他。這讓我很不安。」
He also went after a self-described feminist colleague on one board, telling her she should be more open to criticism, and also urged Google to add banned opinions in its employee handbook so they were clear to the more conservative workers like himself.
他還在一個董事會上追尋一位自稱為女權主義者的同事，告訴她應該對批評持更開放的態度，並敦促谷歌在員工手冊中添加禁止的意見，以便對像他這樣更保守的員工清晰可見。
Human resources issued an official warning to Cernekee for his conduct, which was deemed disrespectful and insubordinate.
人力資源部門對塞內基的行為發出了正式警告，認為他的行為是不尊重和不服從的。
「I very much regret joining Google,」 said Cernekee, who now works for another tech company. 「I figured it would be a good place to see intelligent arguments through. It didn』t really turn out how I expected.」
「我非常後悔加入谷歌，」現在在另一家科技公司工作的塞內基說。「我當時想，這將是一個很好的地方，可以讓明智的爭論進行到底。結果卻並不像我想像的那樣。」
Google said Cernekee was fired for misuse of equipment, including its remote-access software system, and refused to comment on his allegations.
谷歌表示，塞內基因濫用設備(包括其遠程訪問軟體系統)而被解僱，並拒絕對他的指控發表評論。
「We enforce our workplace policies without regard to political viewpoint,」 the spokeswoman, Jenn Kaiser, said.
「工作的時候，不談政治。」發言人JennKaiser回應稱。
