Google fires four staffers after protest, accusing them of data security breaches

Google has terminated four employees for allegedly sharing sensitive information after weeks of internal dissent related to the mistrust of leadership.

In a memo sent to staffers on Monday, three members of Google's Security and Investigations Team wrote that the four workers were fired after investigations into their behavior concluded that they were engaged in wrongdoing.

Last week, a group of 20 Google employees in San Francisco protested the interrogation of Rivers and another employee, Laurence Berland, who had been placed on sudden and indefinite administrative leave for allegedly sharing sensitive information.
