Ex-Google engineer claims he was fired for making a Workspace tool that went viral

Ex-Google engineer Justin Poehnelt claimed he was fired for creating Google Workspace CLI, which "went viral". "The irony...was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming," he said. He alleged that while the legal team "grilled" him about branding, the real cause was some were "afraid of being disrupted".
