    Google the entity exists for no other reason than to generate the most profit it can, now and reliably into the future, and so I agree it can't be said to "care" about anything else. But my argument is that this guy's words threatened that purpose to some extent, and so he was terminated.
    The Rules
    Copper- behave toward others to elicit treatment you would like (the manipulative rule)
    Gold- treat others how you would like them to treat you (the self regard rule)
    Platinum - treat others the way they would like to be treated (the PC rule)

    Yeah, but he threatened that purpose because his memo or manifesto or whatever the fuck it was got into the public domain, not because they were concerned about team moral, or productivity or creating a hostile work environment.

    I don't think there's enough actual information to determine that.
