Agreed, but the engineer's claim is that she followed the standard approval process "which requires two co-workers to greenlight changes". The article says another Googler confirmed that this is the process. But the article doesn't say that Spiers' assertion (that she went through the process, and had two colleagues sign off) has been specifically confirmed.

Presumably, audit logs would make this an easy thing to set straight.

You can follow the rules and submit a PR, have 2 code reviews and plenty of tests, if you brake production then you can still be fired for incompentency.

The fact that 2 reviewers approved her change doesn't mean that she has the right to send notifications like this through a browser extension.
