the more vocal support he gets the more likely it is he can sue for wrongful dismissal, and ultimately we all need to accept that faceless corporations are the enemy and we need to hold the people in charge accountable
Yeah there’s pretty much zero chance of that. First he’s probably American (I didn’t check) and they have basically zero employment rights. You can be fired for almost any reason with no notice.
Second, it isn’t wrongful dismissal. Even in Europe where employment laws are a lot stronger you can obviously be fired for publicly trashing your company. Like, duh.

Stating facts isn’t trashing a company. If they claim it is then they’re admitting they’re trash
They’re not stating facts. I would wager other people in GitHub disagree with it.
