Gebru said at the time the dismissal communication from Google noted "aspects of the e-mail you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behavior that's inconsistent with the goals of a Google supervisor."
Gebru tweeted on Fri that Mitchell was first fired by via email.
"I'm glad to learn that persons don't fall for just about any of their bull," Gebru said. "To the VPs at google, I pity you."
