Actually I think Cory was in the wrong. And the managers actually did everything correctly. They even talked with him, they didn't even fired him. They just clearly stated that the topic was closed and that he shouldn't have raised it because there was always a negative discussion about the topic which actually led to "performance" problems of certain groups within google. actually a workplace should be your workplace, not your political debate site. yes free speech is important. yes it's bad if people discriminate. but did he had other choices than just raising the topic again, in a "google" public forum? yes he could! but he did not, he could've mailed his HR guys or talked with his manager. or both. but raising the same topic again and again and the same disucssion occurs with no end in sight, is always a bad idea (regardless of the topic). p.s. i go to work because i love programming and not because i can raise political discusissons over and over again with my co-workers.
