        Yes and it was drivel. "Women are biologically uninterested in challenging work." This makes sense to conservatives apparently..

        Why is that a reason for firing someone. Is that our solution as a society when we don't like something? Destroy someone's livelihood?

        He's a liability for a company already under investigation for gender bias in hiring. They'd be morons NOT to fire him.

        Maybe one day Google will invent a way to scan our brains for impure thoughts, and a way to replace them with the correct ones.

        Coding-only interviews that don't measure any real depth of thought.

        For that matter, they don't even measure the ability to create good code. They measure puzzles under time pressure.

        Why are you glad someone was fired? Why would you be happy over someone else's misfortune? Says a lot about you, doesn't it?

        Was that too harsh, Google? I'm a teacher and that was a golden opportunity called a 'teachable moment'. Forgiveness is also an option.

        Forgiveness and teachability are only options if the author believes he made a mistake and wants to learn. His attitude suggests otherwise.

        Freedom of speech from the government is the only constitutionally protected speech. Protection from consequences is not a right.

        No this was HR drawing a line when employee wrote a memo using company media that could get the company sued. And in California! #suemestate
