I don't see what else they should have done? This researcher made some ultimatum. As part of it, she said if Google refused, she would set a date to leave the company. Google obviously did not concede to her demand, and obviously didn't think it beneficial to let her be a thorn any longer, so took her up on her offer.
- pseudalopex 6y agoShe didn't offer to resign immediately. Fewer people would be criticizing Google if they just accepted her actual offer.
- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoSeriously, I'm kinda a little wondering how people expect that when someone makes an extremely demanding ultimatum that includes challenging the rights of other people in the company, and the company declines to agree to that ultimatum, that we should be shocked that the person doesn't get to dictate all of the details around their resignation. What I get most from this whole discussion is the extremely nauseating level of entitlement from some employees at Google.
- pseudalopex 6y agoFewer people would be criticizing Google if they just called the firing a firing.
- hn_throwaway_99 6y agoIf I storm into my manager's office and demand a set of conditions, or else I resign on some date, and my manager says "Well, fine, we accept your resignation, but it's effective immediately" I don't really have a problem with my manager calling it a resignation.
- pseudalopex 6y agoFiring someone who's given notice is still firing them.
- johncena33 6y ago> She didn't offer to resign immediately. Just out of curiosity why would Google let her resign on a sepcific date given that she was already sending inflammatory emails to her coworkers? > Fewer people would be criticizing Google if they just accepted her actual offer. Highly unlikely. This issue has become politicized, so people would keep ciriticizing Google even if they let her.
