That comment from Sundar bolsters the fact she resigned. People were raking him over the coals to reverse the earlier claims of resignation to say she was fired, and seeing the CEO refuse to do that is pretty huge evidence of how secure the legal team must feel that calling it a resignation is completely correct and needs no retraction or correction.
- joshuamorton 6y agoI don't see how the CEO refusing to continue to say she resigned bolsters the claim she resigned. > calling it a resignation is completely correct and needs no retraction or correction. Alternatively: publicly calling it a firing is essentially an admission of guilt. That's the one thing Google's lawyers would insist Google cannot do. Presumably neither one of us are the experts on EEOC and employment litigation strategies. So instead I'm going to take the statements at face value. And at face value: Google is no longer willing to state that Dr.Gebru resigned. Anything else is spin.
- mlthoughts2018 6y agoThe CEO didn’t refuse to say she resigned. He refused to say she was fired and refused to contradict earlier statements of her resignation.
- joshuamorton 6y ago> He refused to say she was fired I agree! He also refused to say she resigned. Fancy that! The important thing to note is that one of these was a change in behavior and one was not.
