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 hope some or all of those 28 POS are Indians on a H-1B visas. Now that they are unemployed ship them back to live in the sewer that much of India is.
Now that all jobs are essentially temporary, losing a "permanent" job is nowhere near the big deal it once was. Getting all their google related log-ins deleted might be more painful.
It shows that ego beats woke.
Whoever thought it would be a good idea to storm the CEO’s office and trash it? It may have been successful at a lower manager’s office that didn’t affect el jefe.

What makes you think Google changed its policies?
If BLM protestors had taken over the office to denounce "whiteness," they'd still be employed.
Google's leadership approves of anti-white, anti-Christian attacks. But anti-Israel, not so much.
You cannot protest profits Israel.
Boo-Friggin-Hoo. Get out and grow the F up.
Google is a lot like the federal government, you could fire 80% of it, never know the difference, it would run the same at a huge savings.
Google really had no other choice.
It’s the inevitable outcome of the old saying:
“The Boss may not always be right, but he’s always the Boss.”...............
What moron would go to all the trouble of getting hired by Google and then throw it all away because of a contract with Israel?
Perhaps the Main Stream Media news reports beguiled the malcontents into thinking that Google would never dare to fire them?
Google's public statement about the firing reads like a legal document, specifically quoting language from statutes that have been confirmed by the Supreme Court.
google had no choice but to do this if they wished to stay in business, otherwise pretty much most of their employees would engage in one kind of “protest” or other on company property and company time ... nipping this BS in the bud is the best course ...
If it had been in support of any other deranged liberal crap, they would have, but it is dangerous to mess with the jews.
Personally, I would have fired them on the spot and had them arrested.
Libloather - you must really hate Google now.
I’ve always wondered what life would be like if the internets crashed for weeks or months. Google owns the on/off switch.
Yes, but it is California. It’s always possible.
Nice.
Maybe they can.lrarn to code....🤓♥️
