I 100% agree with you, however this seems to be only an outrage because these people happen to have Left leaning political views Right leaning people are fired all the time for their views on social issues, and no one seems to have a problem with that normally. Further if these employees would have been fired to taking a counter view I bet there would have been cheers for their firing no the outrage here is not really because " people shouldn't have outside-work activities be held against them" no it is more "I agree with these employee opinions and am outraged they were fired for an opinion I share"
