What if I write a Open Letter to the members of WAGUNS, stating my personal views, lack of confidence in the leadership, its morally bankrupt members, while calling out a few specific people for the garbage they constantly post? Do you think I'll get a vacation or win the jackpot at the annual holiday giveaway?

CEO Sundar Pichai sent a note to employees about the matter on Monday, saying the staffer violated the company’s code of conduct.
The post went over “the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace," Pichai said. “To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK,” he added.
I'm just making up a scenario to match the Google situation. I don't have any beef with WAGUNS.TechnoWeenie wrote:dreadi wrote:OhShoot! wrote:Lesson here is, think twice before releasing that scathing internal manifesto.

If you can articulate your viewpoint and back it up with facts, I'd appreciate it, even if I disagree. Might make you some enemies, but at least you'll know who they are.... Things won't change if everyone keeps saying how great everyone is doing....

Hobby Lobby never fired anyone for supporting abortion, or any of their political beliefs.
Google DID FIRE a good employee SPECIFICALLY FOR their political beliefs.
See how that works? Hypothetical compared to actual.
blah blah blah.

And yesterday and today at the office, I saw people who I KNOW agreed with James -- seriously, I have it in writing, these are my friends -- tell their coworkers what a shame it was that people shared "sexist" thoughts like those, and how they "just wanted a diverse work environment."
They are lying with a grimace and nobody outside our chats knows. They blend right in.
And I don't fault them for it. They just want to get paid. They just want to be able to do their jobs without being shamed, fired, and publicly eviscerated in the media.
