Google fired 28 pro Palestine protesters

They were holding a sit in to protest Google's contract with Israel, not only weren't they working themselves but were blocking others from doing their work. Google sure solved that problem, now they have no connection to Google and the services the are providing to Israel so their conscious are clear.

My, my, how quickly they change their minds. Seems they’re all cool with firing people who protest on the company dime.

Now do Kapernic (SP)

The thread has only been on DU for about an hour. The 7 Replies all agree with Google canning the morons. This one is rather colorful:

Hiring is incredibly tight, and no company wants to hire a known ass ache.

The dildo of consequences frequently arrives unlubed.

No matter how liberal the company and it’s management, they won’t let protesters get in the way of a profit

Companies should stop doing and engaging in politics and focus on the bottom line.

Googlers,

You may have seen reports of protests at some of our offices yesterday. Unfortunately, a number of employees brought the event into our buildings in New York and Sunnyvale. They took over office spaces, defaced our property, and physically impeded the work of other Googlers. Their behavior was unacceptable, extremely disruptive, and made co-workers feel threatened. We placed employees involved under investigation and cut their access to our systems. Those who refused to leave were arrested by law enforcement and removed from our offices.

Following investigation, today we terminated the employment of twenty-eight employees found to be involved. We will continue to investigate and take action as needed.

Behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it. 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.

We are a place of business and every Googler is expected to read our policies and apply them to how they conduct themselves and communicate in our workplace. The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you're one of the few who are tempted to think we're going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. 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.

You should expect to hear more from leaders about standards of behavior and discourse in the workplace.

Pro-Palestinian protesters make the Dems look bad. That's the only reason they're canning them. If this were a Republican in office, these same employees would be praised.

This is a Cindy Sheehan and a dozen other types like her redo. You're only good with the party when it benefits them, otherwise you're out. Right now, Palestinian protesters are out. Next time around, they could be in again.

It appears that these folks found out that College is not at all like the real world.

  The thread is ~19 hours old, and only 8 Replies. The normally verbose DUpipo don't want to talk about Google's action! Perhaps many DUpipo agree with the content of the protests but know that how they did it was stupidly wrong.

The professors who are filling these kids, heads with crap about hamas and Palestinians. Should be suspended or fired. Not only are they teaching these children to hate America but they’re teaching them to honor terrorists who would kill them in a minute

Dim'Rat tantrum throwers of any stripe make Dim'Rats of every stripe look bad. It probably has something to do with the fact that it is physically impossible to be a leftist scum Dim'Rat without being a lying hypocrite.
