      The memo was pure drek but this isn't the proper response. Firing people for their ideas should be opposed.https://twitter.com/mathewi/status/894734566174404608 …

      As someone who has run a company, struggling to come up w/ appropriate action that keeps wheels turning. And w/what end in mind? Thoughts?

      I think it would be appropriate to have someone from HR give him a talk and also to put out a public memo explaining why he's wrong.

          Wrong. That would have just let it fester. He already had coworkers refusing to work for him any more. No good solution except termination.

          Google isn’t some Ancient Agora of Athens where men in togas ponder the meaning of life & whether women are capable of rational thought.

          So no actual consequences for trying to foment a hostile work environment? Epically bad take.

          No female employee would ever be able to work directly with him again. Nor should they be expected too. I think you need to reread the meno

          How do you know HR didn’t try to talk to him first? What about that memo made you think he's the kind of dude who takes criticism well?

          He wrote a memo (on company time?) opposing company policy and likely federal law. There is, in fact, no free speech at work. He goes.

          I can't think of a company where you could EMAIL a critique of a policy and keep your job. This wasn't water color talk. Different.

          Given the content, I would not expect an HR intervention to make a whit of difference.
