“Google issued a stern warning to its employees, with the company’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, saying, “If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again,” according to an internal memo obtained by CNBC.”
Isn’t it illegal to fire protesting workers? At least here in Germany its illegal as far as I know. But it must be a protest event (which it seems to be).
Please note that Germany has (compared to other EU members) quite strict and company-friendly protesting laws.
Such protests may be even considered as political protest (Politischer Streik) which makes them not illegal per se but could be illegal. https://www.bpb.de/themen/medien-journalismus/netzdebatte/219308/ein-bisschen-verboten-politischer-streik/
“Don’t be evil.”
Google would like to apologize for that inadvertent mistake. All efforts are being made to identify how this came to be and to avoid doing the same in the future.
The don’t be evil to you must help us commit genocide pipeline
Well on the bright side, getting fired from one of the largest mega corps in the world for complaining about the company’s providing resources to kill civilians is a hell of a thing to be able to put on your resume.
On the not so bright side, I don’t like being a background character in a cyberpunk story.

Probably, but I would much rather be a background character in the intro to a space opera instead.
Yay, space opera! 🥰
Highly recommend almost everything by Peter F. Hamilton if you haven’t read them, arguably top 3 space opera authors ❤️
Edit …: and Boo! Google!
Google would murder every single one of these people for that contract get real. I can’t see how anyone expected to keep their jobs after this.
I’m just shocked it went on for like 8h lmao
