Being a California employer, Google may have still tripped over state, of not federal, law if they fired their employees for supporting a cause.
(But also, practically speaking, they might be fine with a settlement to allow Google to avoid even discovery on this).
- sokoloff 3y agoSupporting a cause doesn’t provide an immunity idol against being fired for occupying executive offices or other acts against Google. It seems they could be fired for their actions though not for their beliefs.
- shadowgovt 3y agoOne is only ever fired for onees actions; beliefs are private. James Damore could believe whatever he wanted; he was fired for creating a hostile work environment and then doubling down on it.
- ActorNightly 3y agoNah. Google is free and clear on this. It sounds like they have something in their policy about disruption of business. If the employee signed the contract, he/she is SOL on this.
