Maybe, but it doesn't mean we should promote it. Half of these comments are positively jubilant about the whistleblower's termination.

Would you want employees sending out chain letters implying other employees should not be there? I would fire them on the spot. No "SJW" conspiracy need be applied. That's just unprofessional and out of line.

Employees are free to say whatever they want on a personal blog on their own time.

You don't fix a problem by firing the guy who reports it. It's hardly an SJW conspiracy, pretty much every company in the industry has some variation of the practices he outlines...
