A few interesting tidbits:
1. She received extraordinary performance ratings during her short time at google, and got promoted recently
2. Google has not acted this aggressively in the past, where someone deploy a change in people’s Linux wallpaper while the protest happened.
3. She limited the notification to just people visiting the union busting firm
Given those, it does looks like an unusually aggressive response from Google, which would imply that Google has become very aggressive when it comes to unions.
With that said, it is also mentioned in her post that it took several weeks of investigation from Google until they made the final call, which could imply that there is more of a back story here.
