This is actually a far more complex issue than someone being retaliated for filing a complaint. So many potential factors come into play such as; was this person a problem employee before / after the complaint? Are they being demoted / moved to less desirable projects due to poor job performance. Was moving the employee to a different project the best solution to the problem? Etc. etc..
And in a previously unreported internal document obtained by Recode, dozens more employees say that when they filed complaints with Google’s human resources department, they were retaliated against by being demoted, pushed out, or placed on less desirable projects.
