GoogleWalkout organizers say tech giant gaslighted them

“Stapleton, a 12-year veteran of Google who most recently worked in YouTube’s marketing department, says she was told she would lose half of her reports and that a previously approved project was being killed.”

The cancellation of a previously approved project within Google is an absolutely normal and extremely frequent occurrence. It may very plausibly have nothing to do with retaliation against this particular employee. Very hard to say without direct knowledge of events.

"Gaslit" is the preferred nomenclature.
