Google fires engineer after pro-Palestine protest at tech conference
Google has fired a cloud software engineer who disrupted a conference in New York city to protest against the company’s contract with the Israeli government. His words: “I’m a Google software engineer and I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance!”#tech
Every now and then someone needs to be shown where they really belong aka how easily replaceable.
Never publicly identify yourself as an employee of a company and then make a political statement. You’re just asking to get fired.
You should fire idiots.
AIPAC overlord
The level of entitlement in that clown lol. Won’t write code? F off lmao. His protest might be right but the level of importance he gives himself is insane.
Most progressives are like that
The workplace isn’t the place for political protest. If your conscience bothers you, leave. But don’t interrupt gatherings or otherwise make a buffoon of yourself.
They will make sure the guy never ever gets a job, after all what are you against the best ppl in the world?
Im glad that antisemitic trash got fired
Refuse to build? Okay. Find another job.
Right, this doesn't seem controversial... the employee announced he was opposed to doing his job. Well there's no reason to keep him on payroll if he's not going to work...
