NEW YORK – Google has dismissed 28 employees following their involvement in a 10-hour sit-in at the search giant’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, to oppose the company’s $1.2 billion cloud contract with Israel, according to a report in the NY Post.

The individuals, described as pro-Palestinian employees, were let go late Wednesday after an internal inquiry, stated Google’s vice president of global security, Chris Rackow, in a memo circulated within the company.
Rackow noted in the memo, which was obtained by The Post, that the employees had taken control of office areas, vandalized property, and obstructed the work of fellow Googlers. He characterized their actions as unacceptable, highly disruptive, and causing distress among colleagues.
In addition to the sit-in at the California office, protesters in New York occupied the 10th floor of Google’s Chelsea offices as part of a wider demonstration that also encompassed the company’s Seattle offices, labeled the “No Tech for Genocide Day of Action.”
Rackow emphasized in the memo that such behavior contradicts numerous company policies, including those governing conduct, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and workplace norms. He affirmed Google’s stance of not tolerating such actions in its work environment.
The staffers are affiliated with a group called No Tech For Apartheid, which has been critical of Google’s response to the Israel-Hamas war.
Way to go Google!
Let others learn from a great enterprise how things need to be done.
Good riddance to the hamas supporting scum, when will the biden admin fire the hamas supporting scum they’ve employed.
“The staffers are affiliated with a group called No Tech For Apartheid, which has been critical of Google’s response to the Israel-Hamas war.”
NO TECH FOR APARTHEID: If you abbreviate it, it would look like NTFA but if you pronounce it, it could sound like Antifa.
Coincidence, you think?
Think again. They’re all the same breed of monsters.
Wearing masks in 2024 should be immediate grounds for dismissal, on grounds of being mentally unbalanced.
Interesting, part of my post was removed. I’ll try to write it and avoid censorship.
What I wanted to say was that the name of the gorup, No Tech For Apartheid is abbreviated as NTFA and if you try to pronounce it, by literally spelling out the first two alphabets followed by ‘fa’ for FA, you’ll come to the same name as that extreme militia that has been causing riots all over the country.
I’m wondering if that’s coincidental. Or not.You think?
Yay! Time to stand up against these hyper-politicized disrupters! No excuse!
gOOd for gOOgle.
WOW. Pretty powerful censorship. Second time and it still nailed me.
OK. One more try and I’ll give up.
Step 1: Look at the name of the group.
Step 2: Abbreviate the four words.
Step 3: Pronounce by literally spelling the first two letters, which are N and T
Step 4: Pronounce the last two letters as in the fourth musical note after do, re, mi..
Step 5: Put the whole thing together and pronounce it as per Steps 3 and 4.
Does that sound like a very nasty group that you know that is causing riots everywhere? Concidental? You think? Hopefully this one works.
