> Under California's Fair Employment law, if you complain about harassment, your employer can't fire you for it. But she wasn't fired for complaining about workplace discrimination using the available means for grievance management.

Not at all the same, and not acceptable behavior. > I think Sendgrid shot themselves in the foot when they explicitly said why they were firing her for complaining on Twitter. No, that's what justifies the firing. If they had said she had no right to complain, they would have been in the wrong. > If they had just said, "She's being let go" and left it at that, they'd be in a better position, legally. No, that would have opened them up to an unfair termination lawsuit. They needed to give a reason, and the reason they gave was entirely appropriate.
