Google has had enough with workplace activism?

They are firing people for bringing politics into the work place, from what I heard.

I suppose one could argue that there is no need to that if it is causing arguments and interfering with the work day, but it certainly is a flip from what they used to say and do and it takes away from the "image" of Google as a very progressive business.  If that was still their image...lol.

We try not to talk politics here and we're a small company, but we do have occasional discussions about topics.  We don't have a policy about it either.

Why would anyone feel like they could expect to get paid their full salary to protest and disrupt the business environment without consequence?
