      I didn’t see anything in his behaviour that breached the code of conduct and the CEO failed to mention which part of the memo did so.

      The bit I've just cited is a clear breach.

      Just questioning the efficacy of affirmative action is a clear breach of the code of conduct? It is a sackable offence merely to discuss it?

      I don't think the guy was doing his utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of bias -- that's what the Code calls for.

      I think he *was* trying to improve the workplace culture. I disagree with his view but disagreeing with the boss shouldn’t get you sacked.

      Depends how you do it. A private memo saying "I think you're doing it wrong boss" shouldn't get him fired. That's not the route he took.

      Just to confirm, Kevin … if Loury or McWhorter expressed their opinions on an internal Google forum, they should be immediately sacked?

      They didn't do anything remotely comparable. But if they did, why should they get off more lightly?

      So that’s a “yes”? If Loury and McWhorter expressed their opinion of affirmative action on an internal Google forum, they should be sacked?

      Yes. If they are offered jobs in Google they should read the Code of Conduct & say, sorry, I can't sign that - or I hate it but I'll comply.

      This is a different issue to whether the codes are reasonable or not.

          "Do your utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of bias" seems reasonable to me. YMMV. Have to bow out now, thanks & best to all.

          Then its very hard to understand why you'd support the firing of someone for not adhering to a biased cultural constructivist view.

          I wasn't aware that Sundar Pichai was a biased cultural constructivist. But with a Wharton MBA, maybe that's the norm.

          Pichai fired him for failing to adhere to the Code of Conduct, as interpreted by Pichai.

          Did he fire anyone 4 espousing culturally constructivist views of the causes of the imbalance? Saying it's discrimination or cultural norms?

          Replying to @HPluckrose @Donoghue_K and

          If the answer is no & he only fired someone for arguing for a biological component, it's fair to say he's biased towards cultural arguments
