you probably graduated from one of the ivy league聽
schools that shaped your overall heart working an聽聽
[5]
ambitious personality and after several years聽
of hard work and a deserved career progression聽聽
[11]
you become one of the most respected experts in聽
your field and probably in the whole world who聽聽
[17]
got a dream job at a company like google that聽
pays you above market and involves you in the聽聽
[22]
world's most groundbreaking projects that聽
will be used by millions of people later聽聽
[28]
after all you have accomplished what any employee聽
would hope for you may even begin to consider聽聽
[33]
what is ahead until you cross the line and get聽
fired maybe you naively thought that presenting聽聽
[39]
your findings to your management would help you聽
improve the technology that you're working on聽聽
[45]
maybe you thought about how your findings could聽
positively affect millions of consumers who聽聽
[50]
search for information every day or maybe you聽
thought your management would support you and聽聽
[56]
try to retain you as a valuable team member even聽
if you kind of threaten to leave it's all maybe聽聽
[64]
but you are wrong in all this and there is no聽
such thing as an irreplaceable employee anymore聽聽
[70]
because workplace conflicts happen more聽
frequently than company publicly apologizes聽聽
[75]
so it's naturally difficult for a public firm聽
like google to recognize their shortcomings聽聽
[80]
and announce potential hazards they're making to聽
the society so and therefore because you have no聽聽
[86]
authority over your employer you have the聽
option to leave voluntarily or involuntarily聽聽
[92]
and given that the process of termination is聽
never fun let's see how employers can legally聽聽
[98]
fire any employee making it appear like a聽
voluntary resignation and get away with it
[117]
you may be fired from your work voluntarily聽
or as a result of an employer's decision聽聽
[122]
it's up to your employer to explain why聽
you were let go an employer may fire you聽聽
[128]
for a specific cause such as misconduct聽
bad performance breaching company policies聽聽
[133]
insubordination or even taking too many sick days聽
with no proof or consistently being late at work聽聽
[140]
but today you can also be easily fired for a聽
social media post regardless of whether you said聽聽
[146]
something nasty about your company or something聽
immoral to your neighbor so you can be sacked聽聽
[152]
for any actions that go beyond your office聽
life that is not equivalent to the behavior聽聽
[158]
an employee should have that's why linkedin posts聽
are so one-sided and overly optimistic with almost聽聽
[166]
no negative opinion shared by the servants about聽
their masters so it basically doesn't matter who聽聽
[171]
you are how smart you are or which projects聽
you're currently working on in the end you聽聽
[177]
will be kicked out now let's talk about other聽
terms companies use to legally get rid of you
[202]
the stars and layouts are often regarded as聽
bad necessities while resignations can occur聽聽
[207]
under either good or negative circumstances聽
so discharging is sometimes called聽聽
[212]
firing you can get fired for a variety of聽
reasons employers may fire you owing to a聽聽
[219]
lack of performance for example after several聽
attempts to help you improve your productivity聽聽
[224]
you may be fired if you repeatedly clash with聽
your management your co-workers and this is聽聽
[228]
done to prevent disruptive forces from coming聽
from you who creates a hostile work environment聽聽
[234]
companies may terminate you on the spot in聽
extreme situations if you show violent or聽聽
[239]
threatening behavior or if you perform a criminal聽
act such as fraud or theft on the job another way聽聽
[246]
to legally terminate you with no consequences聽
or no repercussions is to lay off and downsize聽聽
[253]
you won't actually buy this car will you because聽
you've been downsizing hoping no one would see
[261]
we're not downsizing i was on the聽
other side of the alperin trade聽聽
[265]
i know how much you lost companies lay off聽
employees when they can no longer afford to pay聽聽
[270]
them because of financial difficulties and layoffs聽
can also occur when two organizations merge聽聽
[275]
due to human resources redundancies that must be聽
right-sized so companies also lay out workers as聽聽
[281]
a prelude to outsourcing divisions worldwide聽
however sometimes companies may terminate you聽聽
[288]
for the reasons prohibited by the law which is聽
illegal such as for discrimination whistleblowing聽聽
[294]
retaliation or forcing you to perform dangerous聽
and illegal work employers can also change working聽聽
[301]
circumstances without notice that ultimately聽
compels you to leave or be fired and if by聽聽
[308]
some miracle you managed to obtain any proof聽
that you lost your job as a result of this聽聽
[313]
vile actions by a firm congratulations you聽
can now either be reinstated or receive hefty聽聽
[320]
compensation for the lost job so i hope you聽
managed to digest everything i threw at you聽聽
[325]
in the last few minutes but let's have a look at聽
what's going on throughout the termination process
[338]
i am obviously sorry that we are here today but聽
these are extraordinary times as you very well聽聽
[345]
must know so once the decision to fire an employee聽
has been made the employer might swiftly gather聽聽
[352]
sufficient grounds for your termination聽
including clearly documented conduct and聽聽
[357]
performance deficiencies and hr's and managers聽
typically rub your nose in your poor performance聽聽
[363]
reviews which are supplemented by formal聽
warnings write-ups documented counseling or聽聽
[369]
provided company coaching such as putting you on聽
the three-month pip program or finding an exact聽聽
[375]
clause in your contract to validate your immediate聽
termination after briefly informing you about your聽聽
[381]
termination companies should always advise you聽
on on your compensation package severance pay if聽聽
[387]
available and whether or not they would assist you聽
in finding another employment throughout placement聽聽
[394]
which is quite useless to be honest because no聽
one is genuinely helping you to get a decent聽聽
[400]
job that you have just lost we understand that聽
this is difficult and here is my card please聽聽
[407]
contact me in the next few weeks if you need聽
any assistance with this transition in your life
[413]
so you may also not be given any explanation聽
for your dismissal as well and this is done to聽聽
[419]
protect your employer in most circumstances聽
you will be able to guess what caused your聽聽
[423]
employment otherwise your employer may not give聽
any explanation for your dismissal the next step聽聽
[429]
that employers take is to communicate the news聽
to the remaining employees briefly stating in聽聽
[435]
general terms that you are no longer with them聽
80 of this floor was just sent home forever聽聽
[443]
we spent the last hour saying our goodbyes they聽
were good people and they were good at their jobs聽聽
[448]
but you were better now they're gone they're not聽
to be thought of again voluntary termination is聽聽
[454]
more or less straightforward it happens when you聽
resign from your position with the correct notice聽聽
[459]
of your leaving required by your employment聽
contract so you may rightfully believe that聽聽
[464]
if you resign on good terms you will be retired聽
and therefore you try not to burn bridges with聽聽
[471]
your hr department for example if you need聽
to appear friendly to your hr if one day you聽聽
[477]
wish to apply for another department for another聽
job to work for another manager who is hopefully聽聽
[482]
and ideally is better than your previous manager聽
that's when you will need hr's help to reapply聽聽
[488]
to work for this company another way to make an聽
involuntary termination appear voluntary is to聽聽
[496]
either give an employee a constructive聽
discharge or launch a forced discharge
[506]
the current union contract requires that an聽
employee provide us with two weeks notice聽聽
[511]
before leaving his position however given聽
how obviously emotional this has been for you聽聽
[516]
we're willing to do something special聽
in this case we've decided to waive聽聽
[521]
the two-week requirement and allow you to聽
tender your resignation effective immediately
[531]
i'm sorry i'm not resigning we'll take care聽
of the details i'd be happy no and now that聽聽
[537]
you have all the contacts it's time to take a聽
look at how google fires its employees legally聽聽
[542]
sanjar pichai google ceo now shares the floor聽
with google brain and artificial in search聽聽
[548]
service but as i mentioned before it doesn't聽
matter who you are and what you do not to聽聽
[553]
mention where you were sitting so if you think聽
that sharing a floor or a chair with your ceo聽聽
[558]
means something let me clarify things for you聽
timnit gibriu was the first person fired from聽聽
[564]
google from the ethical ai project ms gabriel is聽
a phd researcher who has been working on paper聽聽
[571]
about biases in ai the report that was shared by聽
ms gabriel with google's management revealed that聽聽
[577]
current ai algorithms are not created equal and聽
are less accurate at detecting women and people of聽聽
[584]
color as well as it identified weaknesses in a new聽
breed of language technology that misinterprets聽聽
[592]
human speech including a system produced by聽
google that powers the company's search engine聽聽
[598]
a system that was built by google by the way聽
problem with those biased ai algorithms are聽聽
[603]
not because they're biased all by themselves聽
but because they were coded incorrectly by聽聽
[609]
those people who have no perspective on things聽
due to their lack of knowledge and therefore聽聽
[615]
ai algorithms are not artificial or intelligent聽
and will never be the worst case in this聽聽
[622]
a business like google refuses to acknowledge that聽
they have issues and instead punishes employees聽聽
[628]
who try to improve the technology and speak up so聽
in any case google would fire ms gibra because of聽聽
[634]
the statement made by google unfortunately聽
this particular paper was only shared with聽聽
[639]
a day's notice before its deadline google聽
requires two weeks for this sort of review聽聽
[645]
and then instead of awaiting reviewers聽
feedback it was approved for submission聽聽
[650]
and it was submitted so after this ms gibri wanted聽
to discuss her findings with the team when she聽聽
[656]
come back from her vacation or otherwise she has聽
no choice but to resign however after she returned聽聽
[662]
to work she found her corporate email account was聽
disabled which means she is no longer an employee聽聽
[669]
to me this is quite ironic to see how ethical ai聽
team is trying to make their masters more ethical聽聽
[675]
and the way that google is supposed to treat聽
employees based on high standards of employment聽聽
[681]
is kind of eye-opening hope you guys enjoyed the聽
