It is weird when you are making public accusations against specific individuals and alluding to still hidden conversations. In other words, it sure looks like she is cherry picking which facts get sunlight and which remain hidden in order to bolster her PR efforts. And then really strains credulity by characterizing her termination as a firing.

I am referring, specifically, to the as yet private email exchange between Timnit, Megan(?), and possibly others wherein Timnit offers an ultimatum which Google then declines.

She said Jeff Dean fired her. Then she realized editorializing could get her into trouble so she quoted Megan.[1] Not weird.

Google terminated her employment sooner and for a different reason than she offered to resign. Firing someone who's offered to resign is still firing.
