They also stripped out many of the amazing features from Grand Central and then left Google Voice to rot for years, slowly degrading. How they handled Voice (and so many other services) has moved me from being a huge Google fan to someone w

I think the 'firing' comment was over reverting the commit that fixed the gendered pronouns. I.e. this person changed the pronouns back to the gendered version after the non-gendered ones were committed. That is a bit more than
