It might not save you from downvotes, but, you're absolutely right. Internally, the reaction was the same - people were happy to participate in the walk out, but when leaders tried creating into a referendum on their individual careers, they way overplayed their hand and tried harder than they did for the original walkout. People read the charges, smelled BS, and didn't participate.

Somewhat offtopic, but a heuristic that I've slowly learned is when people complain about promotion or org shuffles. Google is full of extremely type A people who stop getting signal of success the minute they walk in the door, and "it's been 4 years and no promotion or increase in responsibility!" is absolutely normal, and I've seen people stripped of 10+ person teams regularly and not as a punishment.
