I thought this story had already been reported a month ago. But no, I was wrong, that was the other organizer of the Google Protests, Claire Stapleton:

So to clarify, both of the female Google employees who lead/organized the protests have now left because they say they faced retaliation. That looks very bad for Google.

Not clear why you needed to put 'female' in your statement. Are you implying Google's actions are a result of their gender?

>>anonus+Yf
They organized the woman's walkout, so it seems relevant to mention that they were women facing retaliation for protesting the treatment of women.

Imho it isn't relevant. The implication of OP is that the fact that they are female paints Google in a bad light, not that they were protest leaders.

Corporations do not care about gender, it's all about power and control, and they do not care about the gender of those who they have to dismantle to keep it.

The Canadian Documentary "The Corporation" is a good example of how corporations behave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y888wVY5hzw

Dividing Media narratives help to keep people from realizing who's their common enemy.

If a set of powerful men use the interests to said corporation to enrich themselves at the expense of women who are there, then it is definitely a sexism issue.

I appreciate the economic arguments you are hinting at, but they are not incompatible with the notion that sexism was at play. We know, factually, that executives Google broke the law and then we're paid large sums of money to leave.

You cannot easily disentangle these power dynamics. Nor should you, because corporations are just large groups of people with special legal permissions from the government. The idea that interpersonal conflict would go away and such an environment seems to contradict the facts and hand.

Evidence over supposition.

I have no problem with the claim in the face of evidence. I just don't see any here.
