      No. Dialogue/discovery. Same as if one discovered a partner attended a David Duke rally or donated money to an anti-Semitic charity.

      Presumably this is mandatory? I.e. managers who openly support Trump but refuse to talk about it get fired?

      Workplaces should be as laissez-faire as possible--not in loco parentis. You resort to a zero sum fallacy of "firing" or nothing. 😊

      I'm not saying it's firing or nothing. I just want to know precisely what you propose to fire people for.

      You began this conversation by advocating firing people. I'm trying to narrow down which people you meant by that.

      I'm not advocating firing. "Just cause" requires documented misbehavior + progressive discipline.

      Easy. I'd go to Korean BBQ or juice bar for long chat. Are we still a good fit re: values, vision, diversity, demographics of SV/US?

      For a partner, I'd try $$$$$$$$$ cash severance + would add diverse staff & board members to counteract the harmful perspective.

      So any manager who openly supports Trump but doesn't want to talk to you about their political beliefs is offered severance?

          You started this by saying something was uncontroversial. But now we know what the something is, that's pretty controversial.

          -- that's the deal. even aside from trump, i'd stop associating with thiel just on the basis of what he himself has said.

          Yes, I think the preponderance of evidence--if they refused to dialogue--points to, "We must part, b/c our core values don't match."

          I wouldn't hopefully be in this position b/c from Day One I'd recruit diverse staff & board members so it was clear where I/we stand.

          But again (!!!!) --firing/severance is the last last last resort. I believe in grace, dialogue, 2nd/3rd chances, working with people.
