To me, while I believe Google acted wrong by firing him and proved the validity of the arguments the author (of the memo) laid out, it seems that Google has every right to fire him if the terms of employment they laid out for him, which probably includes a reference to their internal guide about espousing ideologies, were broken by submitting that memo, but I'd love to hear from a more knowledgeable person.
- Spooky23 9y agoThis sort of situation is why open forums for employees can be a bad idea. If you encourage open speech and emotionally knee-jerk against it, you will have a problem. The smart move here would have been to cool down, wait for the news cycle to move on to Trump's next gaffe and fire the guy later for misreporting PTO, poor performance or some other objective act if his behavior was truly disruptive. Now they have created a martyr and attracted a lot of attention... so the wackjob right-winger types will be on this like white on rice.
