(The subthread below contains the refutations, so I won't copy them here. I left a reply at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28966286 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28966286, but you might want to climb it upwards to see why this is mistaken. Suffice to say, her paper passed the internal review, and was subjected to a second review that wasn't policy at the time.)
- freyir 5y agoNothing I said above was refuted or mistaken. You claim that her paper was internally reviewed twice and you chose to ignore evidence to the contrary. And somehow you managed throughout to completely disregard Timnit’s own responsibility in the situation.
- TheRealNGenius 5y agoRight, Timbit sent a public letter of resignation, and Google accepted. Nothing more nothing less.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoCan a private company not accept a letter of resignation? Would that be a violation of the 13th amendment?
- carlivar 5y agoIf the terms of the resignation contradict terms in the employment agreement, I would think so. As long as the employment agreement is legal itself.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoDuh, yes of course, good point! Not sure what I was thinking.
- esprehn 5y agoIf it's in violation of your contract they can reject your resignation, but most people are At Will employees which means either side can terminate employment.
- onphonenow 5y agoThis is generally false. You can’t be forced to work and a specific performance judgement is unlikely. If you resign and had a contract you can’t work elsewhere, may need to pay damages. But slavery, indentures etc mostly illegal these days
