Some employees protested the tech giant’s contract with the Israeli government. They’ve been let go.
SAN FRANCISCO — Google fired about 20 more workers whom it said participated in protests denouncing the company’s cloud computing deal with the Israeli government, bringing the total number of workers fired in the past week over the issue to more than 50, according to the activist group representing the workers.
A spokesperson for Google confirmed it had fired more workers after continuing its investigation into the April 16 protests, which included sit-ins at Google’s offices in New York City and Sunnyvale, Calif.
The firings come several days after chief executive Sundar Pichai told employees in a companywide memo that they should not use the company as a “personal platform” or “fight over disruptive issues or debate politics.”
“The corporation is attempting to quash dissent, silence its workers and reassert its power over them,” said Jane Chung, a spokesperson for No Tech for Apartheid, a group that has protested Google’s and Amazon’s contracts with the Israeli government since 2021.

Did they fire any protesting the inhumane Chinese deals. O wait
No religion, no politics. And no sex talk either, but they probably don’t follow that one.
good fire the KKK Democrat jew haters!
Will they offer James Damore his job back?
Funny.
They made the entirety of the office nothing but politics for years and now they’ve found left wing politics they don’t want in their office.
wait, can you even fire people anymore? I guess you can if you’re googgle.
That was the incident that really made me make some effort to de-Google my life.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.
Google is obviously just fine with politics in the workplace. Hell, one of the company Founders as well as the CEO were up on stage wailing about Trump winning the day after the election in 2016.
Those getting political this time made a big mistake. Their target was Israel but they should have done more research on both of the Founders. That kind of politics was never going to be acceptable at Google.
Politics and religion discussions equal massive loss of productivity
When both of the company Founders are Jewish, bringing anti Israeli....with more than a tinge of anti semitic politics into the open is probably not going to be very good for your career prospects there.
All for show folks. Google will hire them back and more after the election.
That’s Rich! Google has always been a hotbed of leftist politics.
I hope existing disgruntled employees don’t hack and sabotage Google’s systems.
It's called a CLM - Career Limiting Move!
I was under the impression that in too many cases the ordering of Google search results was all about politics.
The title is funny... Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics
That’s all Google is, one sided politics.
Says the most politically connected deep state company ever.
