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.

Never mind the details of US employment law. I'm asking what you would do if you could.

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?

And if the employee refused?

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 asked what I would do. As an immigrant who'd be mentoring immigrants + working on recruiting underrepresented minorities--
