28 Google Layabouts Stage a Sit-In in the Company's NY and California Offices to Pressure It Into Dropping a Contract With Israel; Google Actually Fires the Radicals

Has even Google had its bellyfull of 24/7/365 woke?

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 wore 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."

Uh-oh, they're using the Wokies' power word against them.

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."
The fired staffers are affiliated with a group called No Tech For Apartheid, which has been critical of Google's response to the Israel-Hamas war.
...
The protesters have demanded that Google pull out of a $1.2 billion "Project Nimbus" contract -- in which Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services provide cloud-computing and artificial intelligence services for the Israeli government and military.

Google only did this because of the $1.2 billion contract being threatened.

"This evening, Google indiscriminately fired 28 workers, including those among us who did not directly participate in yesterday's historic, bicoastal 10-hour sit-in protests," the workers said in the statement.
"This flagrant act of retaliation is a clear indication that Google values its $1.2 billion contract with the genocidal Israeli government and military more than its own workers -- the ones who create real value for executives and shareholders."

LOL. Anyone want to bet that these 28 employees are all loss-leader DEI hires?

"Sundar Pichai and Thomas Kurian are genocide profiteers," the statement added, referring to Google's CEO and the CEO of its cloud unit, respectively.
"We cannot comprehend how these men are able to sleep at night while their tech has enabled 100,000 Palestinians killed, reported missing, or wounded in the last six months of Israel's genocide -- and counting."

They got the fake numbers up to 100,000 already? Well done, Hamas propaganda unit.

Google's email took a hard line:

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.

That's saying, in so many words, "Don't expect your skin color or sexual identity to save you, Wokies."

49 There are a number of recent videos on X showing the population of Gaza taking a break from being genocided and going to the beach.

Lots and lots of people.

The initial videos showed the crowds from a distance, but there is now a video out giving a closer look.

The crowd is entirely comprised of men and boys.

After all, it would be immodest for women and girls to go to the beach.

I'm not. Billions of dollars on the line, but even more than that, Israel is a high-tech powerhouse and big tech has a lot of offices there doing very high-quality work. If a big tech company were to divest from Israel, it would be extremely damaging and cede a lot of advantage to competitors.

All that aside, it doesn't surprise me even transactionally. High tech went on a hiring rampage during COVID and virtually all tech companies are overstaffed. Anyone who goes out of his way to declare that he's an unproductive asshole should expect to get fired. All of high tech is looking to reduce payrolls, and firing for cause is *awesome* because there's no severance and no WARN act headlines.

101 ace, since you're here:

I just discovered this and it's hilarious. Well worth a read and, if you've got an hour while driving or the like, watching the video.

Some 4Channers likely pulled off the most elaborate Fight Club style troll that I've ever heard of. The video lays it out in detail (the puzzle section is fascinating), but here's a start:

"For instance, an example widely used by supporters of the claims draws a comparison between the BAYC logo and the Nazi Totenkopf symbol used by the SS Panzer Division in World War II."

https://tinyurl.com/2ycb24q6

TL

R - some geniuses at 4Chan figured out how to make millions on NFTs because "next big thing" and got lefties / movie stars / black athletes and rappers to buy them, advertise them, use them as their Twitter image (Jimmy Kimmel IIRC), etc., all while the NFTs and group has Nazi and horrible racist imagery all over the place.

It's hilarious. I don't think this worldwide level of trolling has ever been attempted before, and definitely hasn't succeeded at this level.

Without any actual express confirmation that they were actually fired, I think we can assume that they weren't.

The way it works in Pennsylvania was (years ago now) employee gets fired for 'just cause'. But ex-employee can still file for unemployment benefits. Employer is notified of filing and can appeal - and will appeal because they have to pay a high financial cost.

Anyway, the person in my org went to the hearing. Ex-employee is there. Referee is there. My person asks the ex-employee to show the referee his hands which are blackened from grease and obviously this person is gainfully employed somewhere. Referee says, "I've seen enough."

Ex-employee had to pay the state back every cent he had collected. Collecting unemployment while working under the table is a good way to bring in the bucks. As long as you don't get caught.

221 A Google spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that 28 employees were fired and that it will “continue to investigate and take action” if needed.

“These protests were part of a longstanding campaign by a group of organizations and people who largely don’t work at Google,” the spokesperson said. “A small number of employee protesters entered and disrupted a few of our locations. Physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior. After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety.”

237 Trump will be holding a rally on the beach in Wildwood, NJ on May 11.

It's great that Trump will campaign in 'Jersey, but it's a safe blue state. Wildwood in May may have a lot of Pennsy peeps though. And Canadians. Hmm.

NYC is also supposed to be safe, but he went to a bodega yesterday to support the bodega guy who shot a would-be armed robber. The Dems tried to charge the shooter, because of course they did.

The bodega workers were very Trumpish, and the crowd was very large and enthusiastic. By contrast, Biden's Scranton "rally" seemed to attract a few campaign workers.

Trump is being very canny in the way he's marketing himself, and he's making the Dems respond to him, which is what he does best.

And despite what the media reports, these pro-terror protests are very small; usually no more than a few dozen degenerates. The groups blocking the bridges and highways were like 20 people, tops. That's nothing compared to the 10s of thousands of BLM degenerates slithering all over cities during the Summer of Saint George.

Same way the NPCs are turned against or for whatever's needed by the Party. They're Apple branded firmware updaters told them "today, you love Arabs and hate Jews."

And so they do. Just like they instantly switched from hating Big Pharma to getting Pfizer tattoos, and how "you can't hug a child with nuclear arms" instantly became Vox explainers about how to stop worrying and learn to love The Bomb.

If the media were persuasive anymore on a national scale, Democrats wouldn't have to shut off ballot counting in the middle of the night and ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall across six states to barely get Biden an electoral college victory.

377 Same way the NPCs are turned against or for whatever's needed by the Party. They're Apple branded firmware updaters told them "today, you love Arabs and hate Jews."

And so they do. Just like they instantly switched from hating Big Pharma to getting Pfizer tattoos, and how "you can't hug a child with nuclear arms" instantly became Vox explainers about how to stop worrying and learn to love The Bomb.

If you went to an anti-war protest (thanks for the pictures, Zombie) in the 2000s, inevitability there woukd be someone with a pro-Palestinian sign or wearing a keffiyah or both. Remember all the protestors claiming our "war for oil" was just to enrich predominantly Jewish neocons?

My point is that the pro-Palestinian/anti-semitic protestors have been around for ages, it's just their turn in the spotlight now.

Remember, the judge let someone whose social media posts were obviously anti-Trump on the jury, saying that he "had looked into the juror's eyes", and determined that he could be fair.

Because have a judge "looking into a juror's eyes" as a method of doing voir dire has been part of the common law for centuries.

And the Biden administration is in a difficult place of trying to win the election, but also, the numbers show he needs the youth vote if he’s gonna’ win. And in order to get the youth vote, he needs to declare a climate emergency and call for a ceasefire in Gaza.

And that, amongst other things, is where the Right gets it wrong.

It only takes one. We call those "leaders". One can lead a hundred or more. We call those "followers".

Doesn't matter that the followers are simply going along like lemmings. Just the opposite. They're lemmings - dangerous in their willingness and enthusiasm to follow in big numbers.

Today's public conversation still revolves around this idea that the lemmings aren't responsible for simply following a leader. Nothing changes for the better until that bullshit gets dismissed - along with those pushing it.

Google is building a YUGE data center a few miles from our house. You should see the electrical grid infrastructure going up everywhere to support it. Not a windmill or solar panel in sight; not very "green." Seems server farms need actual reliable energy.

Posted by: GM27, SEP Field Technician at April 18, 2024 12:23 PM

According to my son, who learned how to code, the solar panels are on the roof of data centers like this. They'll produce some DC current which most computers ultimately work on. So, they may have the panels to appear 'green' but they're for virtual signaling mainly. The heavy hardware plugs into AC but may be ultimately converted to DC. But there's no way they could possibly power the entire facility from solar.

BREAKING: We just shut down a gala honoring U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski. Murkowski is a murderer. She incinerates us to enrich her cronies. As Chevron's top lobbyist gave her an award, we stepped in and stopped the ceremony. Respect us or expect us.

I rate as most assuredly accurate. I'm surprised so few of these places actually catch fire.

460 To no one’s surprise, Maduro did not fulfill his end of the agreed bargain, and now the moronic Biden administration says it will not renew a license – set to expire early on today – that had considerably eased Venezuela’s oil sanctions.

The move to reimpose punitive measures is a response to Maduro’s failure in the election commitments that he never really meant to meet.

462 If I ever get to the point of affording such a "secretary" ? I won't trouble her with trivial bullshit like showing up every day at eight and pretending to actually have a job typing or answering phones.

That's part of the kink! You'd be missing out.

465 I'm shocked. A woke company NOT taking orders from their employees and expecting them to do their job and make the company money.

Luxury beliefs are hard to afford when the economy your entire company voted for unexpectedly turns out to be terrible for your company.

466 Hey, Paul, the Gazans need to learn to be polite and not be Nazis somehow. Being treated as the Nazis they are just might work. It's either that, or Israel nukes them next time they send their Einsatzgruppen into Israel to commit genocide.

Will they learn? They've not shown the ability to learn in the last 70 years. That's on them, not Israel. Tough shit.

467 A an organized sneak attack, with an objective to, kill, rape and kidnap civilians, not military objectives is the work of barbarians. Enemies of humanity. Barbary pirates. When you holed their tubs, you let them drown.
