Absolutely. The supposedly objectionable tone in the EMails she posted was after leadership censored her paper in an apparently unprecedented and intransparent internal review. She has a track record of publishing peer reviewed and well received papers, and the paper in question was going through a normal peer review process when it was halted internally. To any academic the explanations of leadership are transparently absurd.
No academic of integrity could accept that as a work environment, doubly so if you were hired as Ethical AI Lead. It simply indicates to me that Google as an organisation is no longer capable of having a serious Ethical AI Lab.
