Google is struggling to discuss the recent diversity memo controversy internally:
Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, canceled a scheduled all-hands staff meeting—moments before it was scheduled to begin—meant to address concerns over a controversial essay published by former employee James Damore.
In an email to staff, Pichai explained that questions from employees had been leaked and that, in some cases, specific employees' identities were revealed, exposing them to harassment and threats. Instead of today's large-scale meeting, which was to be livestreamed to Google's 60,000 employees worldwide, smaller groups will meet sometime in the future.
"We had hoped to have a frank open discussion today as we always do to bring us together and move forward. But our Dory questions appeared externally this afternoon, and on some websites Googlers are now being named personally," Pichai said in the email.

Then why didn't they publicly fire the guy that leaked the memo instead of the guy that wrote it?

Because they don't want to solve anything. It's a power grab with diversity as the excuse and tool. In Soviet union they also had political commissars, informants, etc.
When the people of Iran got fed up with their Shah. Theocrats (Islamist's) and the Left worked together to overthrow the government. Once it succeeded the Islamist's continued to kill the Left as a response to their help. There are similarities here. Once diversity people has served their usefulness to power grab. They are not likely to be treated well.
