If they can give a good reason like it influencing public perception and damaging business, then yes.
- xchaotic 10y agoFirst of all that might be illegal - for example firing a pregnant person (because you are a 'conservative' and think that there shouldn't be a maternity leave). But in Pew's case it's hard to judge what's the worse PR - his unfunny videos or Google letting him go (for him having a different opinion)
- bmelton 10y agoAt a federal level, they wouldn't need to provide a good reason. Political affiliation is not a protected class, and therefore has no protections against at-will termination. This may vary state by state, depending on what their laws are.
