reminder that Eich getting canned from his own company is one of the reasons votes are supposed to be anonymized.
you might think it's cute because you have a biased interest against what his vote was, but people were fired in the past for voting for safety laws against corporate interest too.

@icedquinn Wait it wasn't a secret ballot? I remember Eich announcing his position and *that's* why he got canned, but if the vote was disclosed and people ended up digging for it that's even more despicable imho
@allison Yes. His ballot was leaked, probably in part of getting him removed.

I believe the story was that he donated to support a proposition, and, it being a political donation, had to be tracked under campaign finance law. What I heard was that the (Obama) IRS leaked the donation records, and activists did what activists do.
@allison
Similar in principle to votes being tracked... the principles of liberty and transparency going against eachother... people get riled up more when money is involved.
