In a world where sociopolitical issues are increasingly divisive, saying the perceived wrong thing on gender identity or the Israel-Palestine conflict could make you a victim of cancel culture—or, fired from your job.
Now, Google CEO Sundar Pichai has weighed in on the debate over the relative values of political expression and workplace coexistence by ordering employees to leave their political opinions at home.
A day after firing 28 workers for participating in a sit-in protest of the tech giant’s cloud contract with Israel, Pichai warned staff that the office is not a place “to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics” in a company blog post.
Although Pichai didn’t specifically mention the protests or the Israel–Hamas war, he concluded that the $1.92 trillion company “is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform.”

Google and MS were the first to embrace this nonsense at least 15 years ago.
Maybe those 28 people who got fired start to understand they’re consequences to their actions and their job is not about political advocacy, unfortunately I don’t think it will happen
All major institutions/companies are thoroughly infected with the Woke Mind Virus. There is no effective vaccine or cure.
As long as Biden let’s the waves Arab-islamic migrants in without limitation or even vetting...
He doesn’t want any more political debates about this. He’s fine with the staff posting on message boards about how much they hate Trump, how evil conservatives are, how abortion should be available until 10 minutes after birth, how wonderful Communism is, etc.

Sundar Pichai is Hindu. So that’s why he has a backbone and fired his employees. Good for him.
Wasn’t he the one who led an auditorium sobfest in november 2016 after President Trump’s win?
Woke is a cancer. He’s gonna have to fire a lot more than 28 people if he wants to excise it from his company. Luckily what he really means is to stop letting the normals know how far the cancer has metastasized.
Muslim vs Hindu is a battle that will eventually take place here. It’s already starting in Britain.
That was cofounder Sergey Brin.
The left will say, white supremacy and systematic racism are not political issues.
They always say their issues are issues about justice that all people across the spectrum should unite on.
I expect Pichai, and Google's owners, will agree that the Mideast is a divisive political issue. Don't talk about that. But fighting "whiteness" is not a political issue. It's okay to talk about fighting "whiteness."
At least they do not have to deal with white guilt. It'll be a good strategy if we're going to appoint more Hindu leaders.
“ …that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe..”
Unsafe. I hate that word, at least in this context.
Right. So Google is rehiring James DaMore?
Although not a “cure”, termination of employment is a good start.
Their job was about political advocacy - but only for causes their globalist bosses supported.

“Alphabet (Google)
Democrats - $5,437,048 (88%), Republicans - $766,920 (12%)”
