Per this great post by Helen, my top ways to make and keep mom friends as a young mom (some don’t apply if you have a brand new infant). Let me know if you have others!!
Go to library baby time
Go to the mom group at church/temple/mosque/community center/etc.
Go to local playgrounds with your kids and talk to people
Great discussions

RE James Damore, didn't Google explicitly invite employees to weigh in on how to improve diversity at the organization (albeit anticipating that everyone would understand they didn't actually want earnest attempts to do so if they came from Damore's ideological perspective)?
Yeah, well I think this is where Josh's commentary blurs the line between "how Josh would run a company" and "how companies should/must be run."
Probably a better (though obviously less catchy title) for Josh's Google piece would have been, "Google should have a culture such that Darmore should be fired." My understanding is that Google's culture encouraged employees at all levels to weigh in on questions such as this. To change it ex post facto because they didn't like the content of the feed…
Right but you can't have it both ways of soliciting opinions and then firing over having an opinion (well I guess they can because they're Google and you're 'fuck you'). Also, Damore isn't the one who distributed the memo so widely, that was his detractors.
I agree hr should do hr's job, but if you ask for input don't punish someone giving such input.
