Or this group was a thorn in their side and thousands of employees are disgusted by their actions and they want to bury this as effectively as possibly.
They don’t need an iron clad case they have millions of dollar to throw at lawyers.
Once again, why should we give them the benefit of the doubt? Why should we ever give multi billion dollar companies the benefit of the doubt?
- systemvoltage 6y agoWhy give people benefit of the doubt when they're publicly throwing people under the bus? These people are looking for drama. They're looking for attention and their name attached as some kind of martyr. The entitlement is insane, you can't work at Google, earn $450k salary and then start a culture war inside Google and create a massive impossible to quantify damage to the company morale and sow discord. I am siding with Google here.
- cornel_io 6y agoAccusing a fired employee in such a public way of stealing documents could be argued to be blowing up her career forever. That's maybr 20 years at let's say 600k/year, ballpark what someone her level was making there (maybe even low, sheay have been L7+). That's a chunky enough defamation suit that it shouldn't be hard to find a really solid firm to defend you on spec, and it'd be worth enough that it would be pretty crazy not to pursue. So I guess we'll find out, when she either files this suit or does not. But if you were a lawyer at Google, would you have let this statement go out without quadruple demanding to see the proof?
