Github apologizes for firing Jewish worker who warned colleagues about Nazis

This.

Corporations are collections of people, influenced by culture. Too often, those who create the toxic culture are allowed to remain. The fact that they got rid of the head of HR is a positive sign here, in the hopes that this can be a lesson for github culture and get the org moving in the correct direction.

Too often, these sorts of apologies are just words without anything more than minimal action, and I’m cautiously optimistic that they’re going to do more than that here.
