I've also noticed this shiftiness. When it's pointed out how senseless a firing is, in a setting where the reason is obvious, people spring up to say that, 'well, there was this other bad thing the person also did,' or even, 'they were not actually fired, they chose to resign.'https://twitter.com/Yascha_Mounk/status/1279750549685100547 …
A particularly common evasion was that they were fired or asked to resign because the controversy itself was distracting. This enables the employer to avoid taking any side.

Yes, like the recent case at Boeing. It's absurd. It's also inconsistent. For instance, two key people at NYTimes published things in their youth that were just as sexist or racist, but, given the opposite politics, that is not seen as problematic. It's all so despairing.
