California is an "at will" employment state.
I was thinking the same thing even though California does have protection laws in place to prevent employers from taking action against employees over "political affiliations" until I saw the quote from his interview with the New York Times:
Before being fired, Mr. Damore said, he had submitted a complaint to the National Labor Relations Board claiming that Google’s upper management was “misrepresenting and shaming me in order to silence my complaints.”

Short of discrimination against a protected class, you can be fired for anything or nothing at all. Anti-feminists are not a protected class.
And that's the caveat, by filing that complaint, he became a protected class. Kinda like the FBI in Die Hard, "helping" Hans with the electromagnetic lock on the safe.
You ask for miracles, Theo, I give you the F.B.I.

Comment ToS violation? (Score 3, Insightful) 182
As much as I hate to see it used, a Terms of Service (ToS) violation and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) may still apply especially since they are using tactics to avoid detection (aka use of "burner phones" and credit card numbers)
It may also be a violation of the various credit card companies' ToS as well.

Question is, was it an amicable departure or.... something worse?
Wonder if someone else will pick these three up for some other science show?
