I'm aware of an employee who worked for a MAJOR (Fortune 50) company who was told to sell his very high end luxury car. the company didn't want the public to make the assumption that they were paying their employees THAT much money. the employee continued to drive the flashy car to work and NEVER received another pay increase or promotion FOR THE NEXT TWENTY FIVE YEARS!!!

Well then, maybe you should choose your words more carefully when you make them public. Much like standing in the middle of Times Square and announcing some belief that Obama was actually from a planet in a star system X light years away and the aliens were planning an earth takeover.
Obviously he thought it was worth the lack of raises to drive that car or that he couldn't find another company willing to accept him. Either way, it is his choice. He had the choice and he chose to go against what the company wanted. They acted.
