In my opinion, she is being very unfair to a lot of her colleagues by not telling the whole truth and at the same time making very serious accusations. She sent email to large group of employees which violated some standards expected from a manager by Google. She is giving all the information except for what exactly she did. It's ironic that she is in "ethics business" but at the same time not realizing that it's unethical to withhold what she did while launching attacks on everyone.

> but at the same time not realizing that it's unethical to withhold what she did Have you considered that she has to remain vague due to the potential litigation coming down the road? In fact didn't she leave some tweets hinting at that ? ("Everything I say will be used against me ..." ?)

  I can't imagine a reason that she'd be free to say Google fired her because of her demands, free to post the termination email, but not free to say what her demands were.

    Because the demands are related to some internal project covered by a NDA, maybe?

      That's fair. (Although I've gotta selfishly hope that if that's true it won't stop people from leaking the email.)

From what I understand, her access to said information (I assume you mean the content of the email she sent to the group) was cut off, so she wasn't actually in a position to (legally) share it any longer. This seems to be it though, and I quoted some (I think) relevant parts of what she's criticizing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25292266 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25292266
