Seems reasonable. I find the story lacking details.
Most tech companies have an internal review process that all papers submitted for external presentation or publication must pass prior to submission. The review is usually technical and legal.

I'll suspend my animosity towards Google long enough to stand and give them a slow clap on this one.

She’s claiming her employer censored her? Do these POS POC idiots not think workplace rules apply to them?
Her work product is owned by Google and they can censor it all they want.

That was actually badass the way Google handled that situation.

Those woke assholes deserve to be the target of their own medicine; you can never be Woke Enough for the mob, they'll just lynch you a little later than the rest- so bargaining with them like Google has, deserves every bit of the comeuppance they get for trying to satisfy these people.

They had piles and piles of documentation outlining the just firing, but nevertheless, the company ended up settling with her for $10K.
My company had massive layoffs this spring/summer due to CV-19 and the oil bust. A handful of AAs were caught up in it. We pretty much have to pay about $20 k to make those go away. Whites and Asians get nothing of course.

If I ran a company I would never hire a black person for this reason alone. If you have to part ways one day, which will likely be the case as few people work for the same company for 40 years anymore, it'll probably end with a lawsuit.

So is this one of those cases that without even knowing what’s up, sides should be taken based off the fact that she is saying she was let go over being a minority female?

She sent out a bitchy email to a list that included non-management employees.
She had also already sued Google at least once. She was just a pain in the arse employee and they were just waiting for her to break a rule so they could fire her.

Timnit Gebru, a technical co-lead of Google's Ethical A.I. team, who researches algorithmic bias and data mining, has been an outspoken advocate for diversity in technology, claimed, in a series of tweets, she was fired for refusing to retract a research paper that outlines how A.I. discriminates against minorities and also due to a complaint in an email to colleagues.

I was in the middle of a potential lawsuit for which Kat Herller and I hired feminist lawyers who threatened to sue Google (which is when they backed off--before that Google lawyers were prepared to throw us under the bus and our leaders were following as instructed) and the next day I get some random "impact award." Pure gaslighting.

Ever seen the movie Parasite? These type of people are parasites and are a better representation of reality.
Their livelihood is built on searching how to be a victim and how to profit off of it.
Unfortunately our society is tripping over themselves to champion these types of people and have no problem fully obliging them.

Yea, frick these people.
I can’t imagine suing my employer and expecting to keep my job.
If one of my employees ever breathed the word “lawsuit” at me the would be fired immediately.

The fricked up part is that the people making Parasite thought the people living off the family were the real victims and the successful family they leeched off of was the real parasite.

It’s pretty dumb to put anything in an email to your company about threatening resignation, not returning to work, etc. The bar is pretty low about what constitutes a “formal” resignation.
Posted on 12/5/20 at 1:57 pm to tiggerthetooth
If woke google fired her then she must have been a shite employee
