Look at this guys performance review information in the lawsuit and judge for yourself if you think he was only let go because of his comments. Damore has a much stronger case without this guy.

    Can you give more specifics than having to wade through a streaming 161 page PDF?

  From the complaint [1]: > Damore was diligent and loyal, and received substantial praise for the quality of his work. Damore received the highest possible rating twice, including in his most recent performance review, and consistently received high performance ratings, placing him in the top few percentile of Google employees. Throughout the course of his employment with Google, Damore received approximately eight performance bonuses, the most recent of which was approximately 20% of his annual salary. Damore also received stock bonuses from the Google amounting to approximately $150,000 per year. > On or around April, 2017, a few months after he started working with his new team, the Google employee’s reviewing manager stated in a written performance review, “[The Google employee] has ramped up fast on ML, a new area for him,” and his manager further told the Google employee that he was on track to receive either an Exceeds or Strongly Exceeds Expectations rating in the next performance cycle. > On or about October 25, 2017, two weeks after that weekly meeting, the Google employee received a “Needs Improvement” rating. This occurred despite the fact that his reviewing manager had been assuring the Google employee every week since September 19, 2017, that he had been meeting expectations. The Google employee also argued that the rating was unfair because he only learned of his alleged “poor performance” on September 6, 2017. So looks like they're arguing that his bad performance review is because of his memo. Since this is from the complaint, obviously take in what you read with a grain of salt. The complain as a whole is interesting, surprising amount of memes as exhibits.

I think Damore's case is also relatively weak, mostly because of his writings/post, which I'm guessing Google will claim was poorly and/or insufficiently thought out/supported/reasoned, and suggested that Damore didn't have the reasoning/whatever abilities required of a Senior Software Engineer.
