100% will get her fired. 100%. Not now as it’s too connectable to the post she made, but in 6 months, they’ll find a reason to can her that can’t be traced to this.

I recall reading about one senior on the search team who had worked there for over a decade criticizing the changes G keeps making to favor their own interests (ads mostly) saying it degrades search results (he was right too as G has fallen to the same levels of DDG/Bing and Yahoo).

He got shuffled into a dead roll over the course of a year so he could no longer deter the project.

Now that’s a guy who didn’t want to build a bad product. What happens to people who take political stances that could hurt G’s revenue and stock prices? Yeah. She’s toast.
