That's terrible.

"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"

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.

What took them so long?

[crusty old prospector]

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.

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.”

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.

[DeplorablePaul]

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.

[pepsionice]

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.

[Revel]

Got what they deserved.

[DAC21]

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.

[FLT-bird]

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.
