No, this is a false scenario. Neither of the two have to go. It's totally possible for employees to continue to choose to work at the company even if they don't agree with their CEO's political views. Plenty of adults manage to work with people that have significant political differences. A more realistic second choice is that some employees choose to quite and most choose to stay.
- scrollaway 8y agoI don't think you understand how big of a problem this was at Mozilla, and for Mozilla employees.
- BrendanEich 8y agoWere you at Mozilla then? Just curious. The case that is being misrepresented even now in comments on this post consists of the six Mozilla Foundation employees tweeting that I should step down. They did not work for me. It may be they spoke for some who did work for me, but many on my staff were outraged by their tweets. I had support across a broad spectrum of people inside the Mozilla Corporation.
- manfredo 8y agoThe point remains, the above poster was presenting a false dichotomy. No one had to be fired. Employees may choose to quit, but that is a decision they make themselves.
