A former Google employee recently made a shocking revelation, and disclosed that he departed from the company after purportedly being refused a promotion based on his skin colour. Shaun Maguire, who worked with Google from 2016 to 2019 said that despite being “one of the highest performing people", he was denied a promotion for being a white man. Maguire quoted his the-then-supervisor saying "I can't promote you right now because I have a quota". A source privy to the situation told New York Post, the purported quota was reportedly linked to pressure from employee resource group established on the aftermath of the #Me Too scandals. Taking to X (formerly twitter), the ex-Google employee shared his experience, and claimed that Google had denied that it really happened.

Former Google Employee Says He Was Denied Promotion:
“I’m really not supposed to tell you this. It could get me fired.
But you’re one of the highest performing people here but I can’t promote you right now because I have a quota. My hands are tied. You’ll get the next slot. Please be patient. I’m really sorry.”

Maguire Conducts Poll on X:
Should I go public with the story about the time I was told I can’t be promoted for being a white man?

Maguire Says Google Has Denied His Claims:
Google is denying this happened but nobody from the company has reached out to me for my side of the story
Honestly, pathetic
I don’t want any compensation
I just want you to fix these problems, especially if you’re going to lead in AI https://t.co/0I7bmWmPIu
