> She's even tweeted that she suspects there was a team of people behind the decision to accept her resignation.

Would that be somehow bad? I'm not even entirely sure of what does that even mean. If I submit a resignation letter, I don't even expect it to be rejected, engineers and researchers are not some kind of ministers. At most some people can consult each others and ponder if its worth to attempt to retain her, but even then the concept is not entirely one of "I/we don't accept your resignation letter"...

I don't think it's bad, I included it to further point out that her resignation wasn't the result of just one person deciding they would prefer she left. But that multiple people agreed that it would be best to accept her resignation. Which in turn, implies many people considered her work conduct inappropriate. If it had just been Jeff Dean, then I may have more sympathy for her case as clearly, that comes across much more personal and unfair, especially if no one else agrees.
