The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
No way them resigning would have gotten this level of publicity, but you know that.
You just want to prevent people from doing things that annoy you by pretending they are ineffective.
They got a blip in the newsfeed, woohoo. Google's gonna continue to be evil, a few employees short. The world keeps turning.
They could resign and throw out an open letter, that would've netted them the same level of publicity. They probably new they'd be fired and opted for that instead.
It is ineffective regardless of whether it annoys me or not. (FYI - not that i give two shits about your opinion on me, i don't - randos protesting amuses me at best, Israel killing people with the blessing of the world for over 70 years does annoy me).
