I haven't worked at Google for 3 years now, so anything recent I probably haven't heard about.

...but yeah, it would never have occurred to me that people would get in trouble for the mic drop April Fools joke. It's a different culture in tech, in Silicon Valley, and particularly at Google. I remember being told by a senior engineer that as long as I continued to do my work, there was basically nothing I could say to a senior executive that would get me fired.

I wasn't aware of it either, but looking it up now I see that someone outside Google lost their job because of it. That might be what the parent is referring to.
