Well, if you get fired for it, you lacked tact.

Google is pretty clear about what is and isn't inside the lines for their code of conduct, and they make you take a mandatory refresher course every year on your anniversary of employment.

Which is partly why this guy was so pissy about the echo chambers rules: They're always in his face.

The only reason it spread was because people were shocked by his lack of tact.
