generally when forming a company and selecting your staff you exercise prudence. If somehow a member of the company holds a wildly conflicting view from the rest that somehow only reveals itself years down the road the only real reason to fire them is if their views directly affect the business.
this is what happened with Eich. I don't care if he left voluntarily or was fired. He had to go because of a precadent set by society. People have bought in to the notion that his unpopular opinion is wrong and bad and therefore Mozilla is wrong and bad and therefore it is there social duty to remove him or else! Effectively, he was removed for acting on his constitutional rights.
- So it's society's fault that people disagreed with him?hereswhatidid
- society puts the onus on companies to comply with their personal belifs in exchange for business.SteveJobs
