She wasn't fired. She resigned, because of a her-way-or-the-highway mentality.

FTA: In later tweets, Gebru clarified that no one at Google explicitly told her that she was fired. Rather, she said Google would not meet a number of her conditions for returning and accepted her resignation immediately because it felt that her email reflected "behavior that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager."

That's true but irrelevant.

Google cut off her access and paid her through her notice period.
