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.

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.

I’m surprised Google’e executives would direct their managers to prevent what their employees are doing politically in their spare time...

They weren't. Meredith was employed full time at Google and using all of that time to work on AI Now. It was her work time.
