I'm sorry if it was confusing.
But I was not using the law to argue she was ineligible for unemployment. Or that legally she "voluntarily quit".(though there is at least an argument she did) Only that Google's or Jeff Dean's use of word resigned was not an easily verifiable lie.
I used the term Gebru firing because I think either description is equally accurate. It was a firing in the sense Google did not want her to work there anymore. It was also a resignation in sense she didn't want to work there anymore.
You're arguing that it's a bold faced law to describe a letter of resignation as such if there is not a specific date. You haven't shown this is true in California law much less English. And if it's true in any sense it's not a lie.
If I went to my boss and said "I don't wanna work here anywhere, I'll check my calendar to find a convenient last day". And they respond with don't bother go home you'll get your two weeks.
You're argument is if someone described that event to someone else as me resigning they'd be a big ol liar?
That doesn't seem right to me.
- pseudalopex 6y agoShe didn't say "I don't wanna work here anymore". She said they could discuss a last day when she was back from vacation. They said her employment was terminated immediately. So no more pay. Gebru was able and willing to continue working at the time Google terminated her employment. So it was involuntary in California law and English.[1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26203772 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26203772
