Google engineer reportedly sacked over viral Workspace CLI AI tool

Ex-Google engineer Justin Poehnelt says he was fired after his viral Google Workspace CLI hit No. 1 on Hacker News, drawing thousands of GitHub stars and users in days. The seven-year veteran claims Workspace leaders feared disruption from AI agents, not his tool itself. The irony: Google announced an official Workspace CLI at Cloud Next just two days before his termination. His X thread has since crossed millions of views.
