Probably "AI researcher was let go after threatening resignation" is probably the most accurate description.
Also "AI researcher was let go after submitting resignation letter" is pretty close to accurate.
But if we had to choose between "AI researcher resigned" and "AI research was fired" I think the first would give you a more accurate idea of questions like
"did she submit a resignation letter" (yes), or "who initiated the break up" I feel
resignation tells you she initiated it, which I think that is closer to the truth Google initiating it.
- JamesBarney 6y agoDoing more research it looks like in many legal cases an ultimatum does count as a resignation letter if it's believed to be sincere.
- virgilp 6y agoI don't know - the outcome was desired by the management (who jumped at the opportunity to "accept" it) but not by her (who publicly complained about it). That tilts it towards "fired" for me - I believe she miscalculated how desirable she was (as an employee), and made the resignation threat believing management would do their best to avoid that outcome.
