When asked for comment on claims made by Margaret Mitchell in the show, a Google spokesperson said:

 

“After conducting a review of this manager [Margaret Mitchell]’s conduct, we confirmed that there were multiple violations of our code of conduct, as well as of our security policies, which included the exfiltration of confidential business-sensitive documents and private data of other employees.”
