People need to get over it. Trump's president now. Those who chose clinton picked a racehorse w/ 3 legs. She was never going to win. I didn't vote for her and never would. Everyone in my fb stream of 3k+ Bernie supporters were all warning they would not vote for her, and guess what? -- THEY didn't..

GET OVER IT. He's the president. Nothing is going to change that. This CEO's reaction is almost discrimination in that political views are almost akin to religious convictions for some people.

No, it is not almost discrimination. Read the clarification the CEO provided after so many people misunderstood the intent of the original letter:

> I want to clarify that I did not ask for anyone to resign if they voted for Trump. I would never make such a demand. To the contrary, the message of the email is that we do not tolerate discriminatory activity or hateful commentary in the workplace, and that we will stand up for our employees.
