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:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/jun/07/google-wa...

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.

What retaliation have they faced from Google exactly?

Maybe read the article?

> Google soon nixed the board.

> Whittaker said her Google manager told her to "abandon [her] work on AI ethics" and blocked a request to transfer internally.

She asked to be moved to RMI. No hiring manager in RMI wanted her on their team, and she didn't complete the ladder transfer process.

Instead demanding a forced transfer.

Could be wrong here, but that's how it was presented internally by Meredith herself.

Sry. Source was from a blind thread. Not an internal thread. Mixed the two up
