Google fires 28 employees over their participation in a 10-hour sit-in at the company's New York and Sunnyvale offices to protest its business ties with Israel (@TBarrabi / New York Post) nypost.com/2024/04/17/bus… 📫 Subscribe: techmeme.com/newsletter?fro… techmeme.com/240417/p40#a24…
In what universe did these employees think they could accept a job to turn around and protest their CEO with 0 repercussions? And now their names are public. Their faces are public. Their story is blown-wide open. What manager would hire them now? Absolute Madness. I almost pity them.
It was these employees’ insistence on being paid by Google for their time that clinched it. (j/k) Seriously, this kind of hostility towards a company calls into question its ability to ever trust those employees again—re: potential forms of protest that are far more destructive.
