She did not post the actual email to twitter or elsewhere (nor did she attempt to effectively summarize, oddly). Were you a recipient? If so, please do share (if you're able to legally).
Side note: she is being strangely cryptic about the contents of the email in her tweets.
- thisismyswamp 6y agoThank you, so happy to see reasonable people here. The crowd jumping into defending her on twitter makes me sad for humanity.
- pseudalopex 6y agoShe shared what she says is Google's response. She also said she would share her email except her account was cut off. Not trying to paraphrase it when lawyers are about to be involved isn't weird.
- xibalba 6y agoIt is weird when you are making public accusations against specific individuals and alluding to still hidden conversations. In other words, it sure looks like she is cherry picking which facts get sunlight and which remain hidden in order to bolster her PR efforts. And then really strains credulity by characterizing her termination as a firing. I am referring, specifically, to the as yet private email exchange between Timnit, Megan(?), and possibly others wherein Timnit offers an ultimatum which Google then declines.
- pseudalopex 6y agoShe said Jeff Dean fired her. Then she realized editorializing could get her into trouble so she quoted Megan.[1] Not weird. Google terminated her employment sooner and for a different reason than she offered to resign. Firing someone who's offered to resign is still firing.
