A comment on Engineer says Google fired her for notifying co-workers of right to organize. Parent comment
To me this sounds like someone snuck a PR that does questionable things into the code base.
Sure you can say that's a failing of the PR process, but it doesn't mean putting up the PR in the first place shouldn't be punishable.
"Following the process" doesn't absolve you from the fact you initiated the process with questionable intents.
Honestly, I would not want to work with someone who'd do that, and would be surprised if that wasn't a fireable offense.
I value the fact I don't have to scour PRs for covert (or honestly, even overt) attempts to stick political messages into our codebase.
