How the hell is firing someone who offered an ultimatum not a justifiable reason for accepting said resignation?

By definition the default position was "leave the company"



Yes, they fired her after requiring her to retract her approved paper criticizing some of Google's practices.

I agree with you that it was a "firing", we can debate over whether it was justified, but it wasn't a resignation.


Didn't she say: "if these things aren't given to me, I will leave the company?"

Isn't that technically resigning if those things aren't given to her?
