Anyone making arguments for/against firing him for the memo need to be reminded that we don't know why he was fired.
It's just as likely he was fired for lying about having a PhD from Harvard.
Edit: I stand corrected, he was just enrolled in a PhD program.
- jshevek 9y agoHe didn't lie about having a PhD from Harvard. LinkedIn doesn't allow one to differentiate between being enrolled in a PhD program, or having completed a PhD program The common practice when enrolled in a PhD program is to list using a future completion date, making clear that you have not yet completed the program. Google knew he was enrolled in this program when they hired him.
- bduerst 9y agoGood point, I wasn't aware of LinkedIn's abilities with that.
