Moral of the story: don't use internal security tools at your work as a platform for your political activism. Totally agree with the spirit of what she did and applaud her efforts to organize, but there's no way she didn't know what she did could get her fired. What did you think would happen when you made unauthorized changes to software that promote actions against the company's interests? Not saying the company is a blameless party (especially after the news today of their expiring cloud business, this is clearly a shady company), honestly, I'm not even commenting on the substance of what she wrote. This just seems like something that anyone with half a brain would realize could get them fired before they deployed those changes. I still feel bad when anyone loses their job and source of income, and maybe a reprimand would have been more balanced given her high performance reviews before, I just can't see any context where this is seen as neutral or ok.
