>Eich may be a bigot
Eich was perfectly capable of working with others. He had a demonstrated track record of doing so since he co-founded Mozilla.

A group of people intolerant of a political difference would have left rather than continue working with him. That's the definition of bigot.
Bigot: One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

- ahelwer 6y agoOut of curiosity, do you know of any companies in your field where the CEO believes you personally don't deserve rights? Would you work for that company? Why or why not? If there is no such company, why do you feel qualified to level this opinion here?
- nec4b 6y agoMy CEO believes only the people who have a baby should receive a bonus (a stimulus of a kind) for having a baby. Those who don't have a baby a specific year have no rights to that kind of a bonus. No group of childless people formed with the intention to cancel him.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoAll of the poly people I know work for companies that don't support their right to marry. I think it's worth pointing out that the ballot prop that Eich supported actually won. It wasn't a niche belief, certainly not at the time. I don't think Eich was the only CEO in America that didn't support gay marriage. What set him apart was that he didn't do a better job hiding his beliefs.
- smsm42 6y agoI have no idea what's most CEO's opinions are on political subjects, and prefer to keep it that way. I would certainly work with CEO that has different opinions than I do - in fact, for all I know, I may already be.
