I accept I will be looked at negatively for this, but I simply don't believe Google has any obligation to keep paying giant salaries to people who are actively - by their own words - working to show how harmful Google and/or its underlying technologies are to the designated victims of the age.

She was moving files and "private data on other employees" (?) off the Google internal network into her personal possession, in order to contravene their policies and share their work against their wishes.

You may be able to claim this is hypocritical as they claim to support openness, but I really think the very clear and states goal of undermining Google's alleged negative impact on non-whites negates any mutual goodwill that should be assumed.

TL;dr this is a completely legit firing, even if her intentions are good.

Tech companies will increasingly find themselves wrestling with a fifth column if this sort of thing persists. Just wait until the Woke stuff really gets tied up with unionism, and you'll see an explosion of allegations of "union-busting-to-protect-white-supremacy", some of which has already been alleged of Bezos and Musk.

None of this is good for anyone, in my opinion.
