Is that better or worse?

In Damore's case: He was asked to privately(?) provide his thoughts to the company(hence while employed and on company time).

Bobb's case: He decided to write a blog post. No-one asked him nor compelled him to share his thoughts.

My view is that firing people over views and opinions is dumb as long as they are not trying to force their views and opinions on other people in the workplace.

On the other hand, my view is that one's views and opinions are private and don't need to be spewed everywhere, hence why I have a dim view of social media(notes the irony/hypocrisy of posting this on HN).

Except that wasn't why he was fired.
