About Google's approach to research publication

That's an angle I had not considered. She has a reputation for retaliation using -isms and those reviewers were able to successfully ask their employer for protections against a historically confrontational coworker. Google as a company takes the hit, as it is in their great interest to prevent their less-vocal employees from getting raked into a public fight.

Exactly. That would be very unfair to those employees. How she treated Yann LeCun and how she now publicly bashes Jeff Dean it is no doubt that those employees would also be named and shamed publicly. She threatened to resign and her resignation was accepted. Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk :)

My opinion of Jeff Dean has risen significantly after this. At least, he had guts to correct the mistake they made in her hiring.

Google still hired people like that. They only have themselves to blame at that point. What did they expect?

This is hardly the first time it's happened at Google and won't be the last.
