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.

Liz Fong-Jones (who left Google earlier this year after some 11 years there) tweeted about this last night: https://twitter.com/lizthegrey/status/1150960547803860993

Of the walkout organizers alone, four out of seven have now left.

I actually got on Liz's block list for suggesting that Google the company "wasn't worth saving", when Liz was still at Google organizing employee action to try and "fix" it.

I get the impression we'd agree on that point much more today than we did then.
