agree with the memo writer on substance. also stand by a company's right to (not) hire/fire for whatever reason.
Same here. In fact I would argue that google has an obligation to fire the memo writer. Having such a controversial memo in discussed in public space means that google can be sued for a hostile working environment by women google employees and in order to protect shareholders in google the right thing for google to do was to fire the memo writer. That is true even if senior management in google agrees with what the memo writer wrote, which I suspect is the case, but current laws means that google senior management have to say and do things to protect shareholder value, which is their one and only true obligation.
On the other hand I see a bright future for the memo writer. His act shows an ability to speak what he believes is the truth despite existing orthodoxy. This is a very much needed asset in companies, especially tech, large or small. He will be get a new job soon enough with a very bright future ahead of him.
