How's that relevant to the point of the article?

#5I read that as "Sundar Pichai Resigns as Google’s C.E.O" and was shocked for a second.
I think he made a moral mistake by firing the memo guy, but he has to worry about potential legal ramifications, should an employee sue for "condoning discrimination" or something. Too bad for diversity of opinion, can't have that under threat of lawsuit.

#6I think that's even more nuts than the media response to the actual incident. Pichai is a product guy who made handled a personnel issue poorly. I think this is still a minor issue and one where he has hopefully learned some lessons and we can move on.

#7The big assumption in David Brooks' piece is that the so-called "manifesto" was Damore's one and only "transgression". Were there other, previous internal complaints about him, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back?

#8Honestly, I think he made the right move just from a PR perspective. His firing makes sense: the CEO and HR are both acting to protect the company. The author of the manifesto caused Google a PR disaster and created a huge state of internal conflict, valid or not. The shareholders are probably really happy that their CEO removed a person who managed to get Google so much bad press in so little time.
This is the reality of business. One does not simply create a PR disaster for the company, with no positive return, and still maintain their job.

#9Isn't this author's reaction to the firing the same as Google's reaction to the memo -- over-outrage?
