Downvoted but true, look at direct physical threats to Damore in the lawsuit by people Google still employs. Yet he got fired for violating code of conduct...are threats not violations?

If that is the case, the employees who create and talk about these blacklists - which appear to be well-documented according to HR - may be creating an ongoing hostile work environment long before this memo existed, which demonstrates Damore's point.

I will keep hounding you until one of us is fired. F[*] you.” The employee was issued a final warning for sending this email. http://apps.nlrb.gov/link/document.aspx/09031d45826e6391 http://apps.nlrb.gov/link/document.aspx/09031d45826e6391 (pdf)
