"Feel he should have been fired" and "Wouldn't throw a fit if he was fired" are different things. Do I think this guy should have been fired? I dunno. Not sure

"Feel he should have been fired" and "Wouldn't throw a fit if he was fired" are different things.
Do I think this guy should have been fired? I dunno. Not sure. I need more context.
Am I upset he was fired? No. That's Google's choice, regardless of how good a choice it is or isn't.
- zimpenfish 9y ago> Do I think this guy should have been fired? It betrayed a spectacular lack of common sense and judgement for someone in a senior[1] role - which is exactly where you'd want those in spades. Also made his working position untenable since a senior role is going to need to get along and interact with many people. Also, also, his utter disregard for evidence and inability to make logical arguments would give me great pause as to his usefulness as a senior engineer. I'd have fired him first for being an idiot, second for his bullshit "scientism", and third having reprehensible views. [1] Disclaimer: I don't know if "senior" within Google is the same as "VP" in banks, ie just a defacto title you get after a while rather than a mark of actual competency.
