Ah yes, because dumping a bunch of people who will tell the "I was screwed over by google" story to all their friends into an economy where hiring is driven by personal recommendations can't possibly have any ongoing consequences?

Do you really believe that these people are enhancing Google's image in the eyes of the general public? You have no idea how many potential employees Google is losing due to the company having acquired a reputation as an extreme ideological environment.

>Any bad PR resulting from firing these types would be a one time thing instead of this ongoing situation.

Imagine if you could murder troublesome people because that PR hit would be a one-time thing and better than this ongoing situation. There's a reason reputation is a thing.

You are completely ignoring the fact that what you propose is illegal in the US.

Also 2 and 3 are just, like, your opinion, man.

I hope for your sake that you're a boss or capitalist and not a worker.
