Google's not obligated to figure out exactly where the line of legality is. Especially when they've already lost two candidates. They're not in the business of protecting the Damores of the world (nor should they be).

The title VII argument may hold no water for you. If you find a way into the NLRB board of judges, that may matter to companies.

Sure, but it is in their business interests to have a good approximation for where the line is, hence why they have lawyers. My point is that from everything I have read about it, it doesn't even seem like they were close to said line


Those lawyers, apparently, disagreed with that assessment (and the NLRB was on track to uphold there was no wrongful termination).
