Claire’s Article about Google

In an article from 2014, Chris Roush posted an announcement made by David Leonhardt, an employee of “The New York Times” then working on the start-up of the only online branch called “The Upshot”. He talks about Claire Cain Miller’s article that she wrote about Google, the essence of which was about Google’s trouble of maintaining talented people working for them. She wrote about the engineers and said that they are “chafing under the growing bureaucracy”. A spokeswoman working for Google called Claire’s editor, insisting that Claire should be removed from her position, however, that didn’t happen, and after a couple of months Google announced that the chief executive was being replaced and that the company would start anew in order to rejuvenate its staff.

Employment at “The New York Times”

Her employers at “The New York Times” describe Claire as a very valuable person to have on the job, given her acquaintances with almost everyone from Silicon Valley, and one of the main reasons “The New York Times” has one of the best coverages concerning technology.

“The Upshot”

That is why both Claire and people from “The Upshot” project were excited that she was joining them, because she would be able to write about the debunking of politics, policy and about how technology influences our daily lives – from what role it plays in shaping our culture and lives, to how it affects our economy. Finally, probably the main reason she accepted to join the project is because she would be able to write about very important and very present issues regarding work, family and gender.

Most Recognized Work

She did that by dividing the article into specific subtitles, and in each one she deals with a certain topic. For example, under the subtitle “Let Him Cry”, she wrote about how boys should be taught and allowed to express their emotions whether that be through crying or in some different way. She stressed that both boys and girls cry the same amount during infancy, but at the age of five boys are taught that crying is unmanly and that one of the rare emotions that it is OK for them express is anger. She quoted Tony Porter who said that while girls are taught to be emotional beings, boys are taught to be robot-like. This was only one of many taboo topics she covered and was appreciated for.
