Your tagline specifically states “denied religious liberty.” That’s what I was addressing.
And one most certainly can be forced out and voluntarily resign. While the homosexuals and their supporters didn’t have any HR-level rights to fire Eich, the uproar was enough to put Eich in the position to ask, “Is it best to stay and fight or move away?” He made the decision to leave of his own accord. That’s not to say there wasn’t some behind-closed-doors meetings to ask him to leave, but that wasn’t made public.
Mea culpa. As I stated in our simultaneous posts, I overlooked my tagline.
I do disagree that being forced out via the mechanism of a “voluntary” resignation is valid. Resigning under pressure is not the same as a voluntary decision to leave, especially for a CEO that was so new in his position.
he had no support on the board - they wanted him gone
