> Presumably the executives who fired him are intelligent people who can draw their own conclusions about what he did or didn't say. Yes, but is it fair to say that they probably made the decision based on what's best for the business? "Make the mob go away" is a rational decision to make. And one that's done all the time in this world of public shaming (see book "So you've been publicly shamed"). Damore does not have a cash value higher than the productivity lost by many other employees turning into a mob instead of working. Maybe they would have fired him without the mob. But I don't think so. > Damore was fired by a conspiracy. No, I say by mob justice (the mob) and capitalism (best decision for the business). No conspiracy needed.
