So 2 people are referenced in the article by name and Google has what, almost 200k employees? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

So 2 engineers are named, both had pretty splashy blog posts, and Liguori appears to have timed her resignation with the release of two big interviews as well. Neither Liguori, nor Kirsch are American citizens. From what I can tell, neither even worked in America. I guess I don't see how this is news worthy? Would anyone care at all if two American engineers quit their tech jobs because the Canadian or Japanese militaries were contracting their product? | |||||||||||||||||||||||
