IMO the problem was putting the pop up on the IRI consultants website. She wasn’t protecting anyone or informing anyone of policy, she was being inflammatory and I don’t see it as a stretch for G to say she abused her position to inject that message.
I’m happy to see this comment. I guess I don’t really care if Google wants to succumb to NIH syndrome and build this themselves, but they should at least acknowledge the person whose idea they are repackaging.
She’s not a victim. She made a choice (which I personally agree with and find admirable) but the firing seems justifiable.
