      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 …

      Since many people are arguing with this tweet (quite cogently too) I wanted to expand on it a little.

      The case for firing James Damore (Google engineer) is that his memo created a hostile workplace. I think that's true if he acts on memo.

          Google employees should unionize and they can bargain to create a fair system to weigh offenses like this

          I disagree. I would personally be very uncomfortable working with someone who I knew openly believed such stuff.
