Comments by "N Marbletoe" (@nmarbletoe8210) on "Google Fires Employee Who Wrote Anti-Gender Diversity Memo" video.

  1. So many comments about "private company" and "can fire who they want." That is false. 1) It depends on the contract, and 2) even at-will employees cannot be fired for certain reasons such as whistleblowing: https://www.sba.gov/blogs/how-fire-employee-and-stay-within-law

  2. Agree it wasn't anti-diversity. Also, Mr. Parkman, the way the title is written it says "anti-gender" which means against the concept of gender, I suppose. Like, we should only have one sex. lol

  3. It depends on the employment contract. Some employees can be fired without cause, some cannot. There are other laws and such too. If I fire you from my Petting Zoo because you told the cops about my little plan to release adult lions at the mall... yeah. Whistleblower law might protect you.

  4. I think it depends on the employee's contract, and what policy he/she is criticizing; here's the advice for employers from the Small Business Administration website: 1. Understand the Employment at Will Policy Every state (except Montana) gives employers the option of adopting an “at-will” employment policy, meaning that an employer may terminate any employee at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all. Sometimes employee agreements or contracts contradict the “at-will” policy, so check the wording to make sure where you stand. 2. Know When it’s Illegal to Fire an Employee Your power to fire is not unlimited. Here are some things you can’t fire someone for: >> Discrimination – Federal anti-discrimination law prevents employers from firing employees based on age, race, gender, religion or disability. >> Whistleblowers – You can’t fire employees for complaining about any illegal activity, health and safety violations, or discrimination or harassment in the workplace. These statutes and laws vary by state, so check with a lawyer if, for example, you wish to fire someone who has complained or testified against you in court. >> Exercising Legal Rights – You can’t fire employees for taking family or medical leave, military leave, time off to vote or serve on a jury. https://www.sba.gov/blogs/how-fire-employee-and-stay-within-law

  5. It was an "Anti-Gender" memo? As in, it said we should have only one gender? Or maybe it was an anti-GRAMMAR memo ;)
