Google has fired 28 employees over their participation in a 10-hour sit-in at the search giant’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, to protest the company’s business ties with the Israel government, The Post has learned.
The pro-Palestinian staffers — who had donned traditional Arab headscarves as they stormed and occupied the office of a top executive in California on Tuesday — were terminated late Wednesday after an internal investigation, Google vice president of global security Chris Rackow said in a companywide memo.
“They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers,” Rackow wrote in the memo obtained by The Post. “Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened.”
In New York, protesters had occupied the 10th floor of Google’s offices in the Chelsea section of Manhattan as part of a protest that also extended to the company’s offices in Seattle for what it called “No Tech for Genocide Day of Action.”
“Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it,” Rackow wrote. “It clearly violates multiple policies that all employees must adhere to – including our code of conduct and policy on harassment, discrimination, retaliation, standards of conduct, and workplace concerns.”
Rackow added that the company “takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior – up to and including termination.”

I'm surprised they didn't cower and grovel to their demands. Glad they didn't.
MAYBE companies are getting tired of their antics and will finally cut the troublemakers loose.
“Welcome to the REAL world”
What took them so long?
Add a couple zeros and I’ll pay attention.
You can pretend men can be women
You can support open borders and unlimited h1b visas
You can hang rainbow flags on your ass
You cannot protest profits.
Good start. Next, fire all Indians.
It is California, so it’s possible that they sue and get their jobs back.
Hmmmmmm.....how about they form a non-profit and name it Occupy Google.
On the other hand, if these skulls full of mush would like to experience a real “Palestinian” moment, set up their satellite Google office in the tunnels under Rafah.
Wow. So stupid even evil Google had to do something about it.
Go ahead - make my day. (HT to Clint(
Good. Refuse to do your job, and that's the consequence. There are lots of tech industry people waiting to fill those jobs. The tech industry is in rough shape at the moment. Lots of layoffs.
Yes. Most likely their fanatical fervor blinded them to the possibility of getting fired. When reality sets in, the dopey protesters are going to regret giving up their cushy jobs for a futile gesture.
If they were unionized, I’d say you were correct. Without the union ‘base’...I’d say the company has the control here.
“They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers”
Apparently when the rubber meets the road Google is not as ‘woke’ at they proclaim to be.
Got what they deserved.
Hopefully all Tech will black ball these cretins. But I wouldn’t bet on it.
Did these idiots bother looking into the background of Larry Page and Sergey Brin? Obviously not.
Google is every bit as woke as they claim to be. Their founders are Jewish. This was not the fight to pick if you wanted to keep your job there.
