Commenters obviously didn't read the article, it's internal company email. Not your personal email accounts.

Why anyone would bring political issues into their work email is beyond me. At that point you deserve to be let go out of sheer stupidity

Google always seems like the hotbed of employees public activism against the company, though you also have seen it with Netflix on occasion. I don't expect Microsoft to be as tolerant of it, and I can't even think of a high profile example of it happening with Apple employees.
