Massive respect to the workers who sacrificed their jobs to highlight Google's scummy behaviour.

Didn't read the article. But what I take from the title is that Google is going to stop paying lobbyists....

No politics in the workplace ftw!

Again the excuse of 'no politics'

YOU CAN'T AVOID POLITICS

Accepting contracts from Israel is just as political as denying contracts from Israel. You just stated your political stance by accepting. Why do people think it's a free copout?

"Workplace is not for politics" is just doublespeak for "We don't value ethics here"

more like "SHUT THE FUCK UP, I WANT THAT MONEY"

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

"Swallow all your morals they are a Poor Man's qualityy"

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

My god they really hit the home run with a brand new excuse just to fire a few more people huh?

It's about making money for executives and shitting on the employees that do the actual work.

Ah so Google has gone from NapRoom to full Mainstream now.

[–] [email protected] 117 points 6 months ago

Oh good, so Google has stopped all political donations and canceled all government contracts so they can stay out politics?

No? Ok fuck you.

Well maybe Google shouldn’t take political contracts.
