A lot of people are pointing out that what this guy said was in various ways kind of awful. I wouldn't dispute that. It's just- he wasn't fired for doing awful things. He was fired for being honest about it in public. What kind of perverse incentives are we setting up here? I can guarantee that there isn't a single exec right now looking at this and thinking, maybe I shouldn't be such a bastard. They're thinking, boy I better not let anybody know what I really think!

Its the "in public" part that got him fired. If it was private constructive criticism, I'd hope that would be accepted as such.

IMO Most of what he said was widely thought by others, but not previously confirmed by ULA.
