I've read it and I still think it is justifiably a fire-able offense in that a) it's an open semi-public manifesto against a company policy that is inline with market expectations and b) addresses sensitive and controversial issues. Try writing this kind of a manifesto, and pin it in the lunchroom at your workplace and see what happens. Jerry Maguire got fired for a manifesto as well.

It was an internal memo in good civil form posted internally opening to an internal debate on a subject related to work conditions.
Despite Gizmodo's obvious attempt to frame it as such, it was not posted as a revolutionary manifesto.
It was public only when leaked by someone else. Notice how that person has not been fired.

So if a company makes a sensitive and controversial issue an internal policy, nobody should be allowed to question it? Really?
Are you still confident in your judgment?
