Her manager apparently disagreed. I can easily imagine that the AI bias work could have been a 20% project which she spent way more than 20% time on, and now the manager decided that enough is enough.

I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's not correct. If you're in google, I'm happy to source what I'm saying more specifically.

Her manager told her to stop doing it which is why she quit, wasn't that the whole problem? Or wasn't it her manager who told her to stop doing AI ethics things on work time?
