I feel like the title is a bit misleading. The article doesn't much talk about the planned walk out, instead it focuses on the aforementioned employee being fired on suspicion of leaking internal metrics about a show that is apparently controversial (which I have never seen so I don't have any opinion or reference) and about other employees.
I'll confess I don't know anything about anything- I certainly don't have any insight into what evidence Netflix has to support the assertion that this employee was the leak; I doubt we'll ever see it.
I guess I'm just grousing about the title implying the employee was fired for organizing the walkout, yet the article doesn't expound upon the employee referenced by the title, the titular planned walkout, or the evidence for or against the title's implication. Instead, it mentions a show, some private metrics that were leaked to Bloomberg, 3 employees (at least one of whom is a trans software engineer) who were suspended for attending a high-level meeting they weren't allowed to listen in on and then reinstated after public pressure. So why imply that Netflix would fire an employee (who happens to be both black and pregnant) for organizing a walkout in the name of activism that hasn't even taken place yet in order to protest the show referenced by the leaked metrics if the only time they're going to bother even asserting the title's implication is when quoting an employee about discrimination?
Is discrimination the reason she was fired? Is it retaliation for a walkout that has yet to take place? Is there a smoking gun indicating that she was the one leaking private company data? I honestly don't have a clue and we probably won't ever know for sure. But for once I'd like to read an article where the experience at least begins in good faith instead of implying a conclusion without ever actually going into detail about it.
