Google is struggling to discuss the recent diversity memo controversy internally:
Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, canceled a scheduled all-hands staff meeting—moments before it was scheduled to begin—meant to address concerns over a controversial essay published by former employee James Damore.
In an email to staff, Pichai explained that questions from employees had been leaked and that, in some cases, specific employees' identities were revealed, exposing them to harassment and threats. Instead of today's large-scale meeting, which was to be livestreamed to Google's 60,000 employees worldwide, smaller groups will meet sometime in the future.
"We had hoped to have a frank open discussion today as we always do to bring us together and move forward. But our Dory questions appeared externally this afternoon, and on some websites Googlers are now being named personally," Pichai said in the email.

Baseball caps are great. Imagine if there were no golf courses outside Scotland, and no sushi bars outside California. That would be sad.

I completely disagree. While sushi is great and it'd suck to not have sushi bars in many places, we can really do without golf. I'm not a Millennial, but I'm with the Millennials on this one: golf sucks, and I'm happily doing my part to kill golf by not playing it.

Official corporate baseball caps are boss as fuck when you're out on a field service mission in full company garb working outdoors. Yep, being paid to work outdoors, now that's what makes America fucking great!
