IMO the problem was putting the pop up on the IRI consultants website. She wasn’t protecting anyone or informing anyone of policy, she was being inflammatory and I don’t see it as a stretch for G to say she abused her position to inject that message.

It's inflammatory for Google to retain an anti-labor union cracking firm.

Perhaps. But that doesn’t make her action any less so.

She’s not a victim. She made a choice (which I personally agree with and find admirable) but the firing seems justifiable.

It's justifiable because that's where the discourse is. If the discourse shifts, Google would be in a tough spot.
