#2That headline does not match the article contents. That is definitely the headline from the article, but it simply repeats the claim and doesn't even link to the complaint or provide ANY details.

Didn't she inject code into an unrelated internal extension? That sounds like a legit security issue no matter how just her cause. Like it's awesome you're for unionization, but that doesn't mean you get to roll code across the org - what if it had been a bitcoin mining script?

If she had injected a BitCoin miner, for personal profit, that would have been an entirely different situation, wouldn't it?

My recollection is that the extension was for notifying employees of relevant policies and laws regarding websites they were viewing. So no, it was not an unrelated extension.

I remember that case. Yeah - she deserved to be fired. She used an internal security tool to push her personal political views. How could that not be a fire-able offense?

> His Orangeness
Please refrain from insults. Nearly half of the voters voted for him. There are plenty of his supporters here and this is offensive to them.

"Googlers have the right to participate in protected concerted activities" is not a personal political opinion, it is the law.

Trump went against several sacred cows: tech, CIA, FBI, corporate news, military machine constant wars. I don't suspect we'll see any public negativity from major politicians towards those for a couple more decades, if in my lifetime.
Biden is a company man, through and through. He's a lifer. Expect more of the same ole, same ole that got Trump elected in the first place. He's the "too big to fail" first choice.
I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't put money on it.
