Google just announced internally that 28 employees have been fired in connection with sit-in office protests this week over the company's cloud contract with Israel. Follows 9 employees being arrested yesterday. Full memo to Google employees warns that "if you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again" theverge.com/2024/4/17/2413…
I’m unaware of another tech co like Google firing this many people in connection with a protest. 28 at once is a lot
@alexeheath But if there's something wrong with our Google accounts, there is no way of contacting "Googlers." Zero customer service. Zero appeals or a contact person when an account is shut down and you won't say why. These accounts are tied to everything. @Meta @facebook doing it too.
@alexeheath @katejsim Good, entitled ideologues need a dose of reality!
@alexeheath “Do no evil” corporation angrily clarifies it is still a corporation.
@alexeheath 🙄 are there organizations where you will not be fired after defacing property?
@alexeheath @brianstelter So much for “don’t be evil”.
@alexeheath Meet on of the employees who was terminated- go have a chat with her - she a Ph.D candidate at @oiioxford studying sexual violence. How is that possible? Please find out for us 🙏🙏
