that wasn't what I got out of the memo he wrote, sounded more like he wanted a discussion on why less women and minorities are at Google, besides just saying Google is racist and sexist. Did you read his memo?

Yes, I've read it and I think it's totally legitimate. I think he is correct entirely. My point was - why is he surprised that his employer acts crazy? He should know what kind of insanity he was up against.

For sure, sorry that came off a bit accusatory there. I wonder if there is some legal repercussions he can take? If you're company puts out an issue for employees to solve and you don't like an employee's take on it can you fire him for it? So messed up.

No worries mate. I'm not sure how it works in the U.S. I'm pretty sure he's screwed. But he should be glad. I don't understand why someone like him with his values want to work for a company like that.

It was announced on news today that he has hired a lawyer and will take his case to a Federal review board. Good luck with that. It doesn't seem he will fit into any of the special classes that get public support to be sure they are treated as equal and not special. It's 1984 is you think too hard about it.

lol 1984 for sure, this mental fascism just kills me. Allowing all ideas doesn't hurt, people will still follow the ideas they believe to be accurate. There are many liberal ideas that made sense. Legalize pot made sense, castrate children doesn't. But I won't fire you for contributing to the conversation.

Simply put, it wasn't his place to criticize the thinking of his employer. It makes absolutely no difference whether he is right or wrong. If he brings the public perception of the thinkings of his employer into disrepute, then he is of negative value to the company. Why employ someone who is effectively losing you money?
Originally, it was handled as an internal matter. When the news got out, he had to be fired.
