We still need to remember that Google bills itself as a company open to new and challenging ideas. Leadership matters and even if the decision to fire was based purely on publicity and work environment concerns, Google showed it cares more about a certain ideology and keeping its employees happy in their ideology than actually having debate.
- krapp 9y agoIt is possible that Google is hypocritical in that the public culture it projects doesn't match its actual corporate culture, but they would hardly be the first company for which that was the case. But it's also possible that Damore wouldn't have been fired if the memo he published hadn't gone viral. I don't know one way or the other but that seemed to me to be more about damage control than suppression of political views.
