Hey @paulg, has Thiel now invested more in a Trump presidency than YC companies?http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/16/technology/peter-thiel-donald-j-trump.html?_r=0 …

So you'd fire any 37signals employee who donated a lot to Trump, was a Trump delegate, and spoke at the RNC?
That would probably be illegal. More importantly, I think it would be immoral, and very dangerous for America.

Yeah, very dangerous for me hypothetically firing The Peter Thiel from his hypothetical employment with me.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

How would you feel if companies run by Republicans did the same and fired employees who were big Hillary supporters?
-
After all, they'd have the same moral certainty you do. But can't you see the dangerous place that road leads to?

I dunno, "use of social media which tarnishes the reputation of the employer", possible gross misconduct ;)

Meanwhile, Peter Thiel is ACTUALLY your business partner. Maybe more relevant role than as my hypothetical billionaire employee.

the state of CA is at-will employment, you can fire anyone for any not-illegal reason and Trumpkins are not a protected class.
-
Wrong. It's illegal in California to retaliate against employees for political activity outside of work
