Yeah, my understanding leads me to believe that he used the company's official "Air your grievance here" forum for posting the memo. So, he acted exactly in the manner that the company required him to. Google's case will probably focus on the result of him voicing his opinion, rather than the fact that he did in the first place. Still can't say I agree with them firing him. His memo was considerate enough to have not lead to a kneejerk firing.
