When it's a widely circulated internal document criticising the hiring practices behind 40% of the company's workforce, it's hardly surprising.

He put them in a difficult position. The brand and employee-esteem damage caused by tacitly condoning his manifesto by not firing him, vs just getting rid of one engineer. Easy maths. He's gone.

Edit: backwards words not now.
