Read Google's memo warning employees to think again

AI summary of the linked article

Google fired 28 employees after in-office sit-in protests against its Project Nimbus contract, and warned that employees who think it will overlook policy violations should "think again." The protests took place in New York City, Sunnyvale, and Seattle outside offices, and inside the New York and Sunnyvale offices during a sit-in. Google said the protesters violated multiple policies, including its Code of Conduct, and that five people were arrested in Sunnyvale and four in New York City. Google said it will continue to investigate and may take further action, up to and including termination.

Dayum, I'm always fascinated when corporate speech turns from total bullshit empty phrases (which seems to be 90% of it) into very discrete preferences.

Remember when Apple's PR team complained about the EU regulation with iOS 17.4? This one feels the same; the memo is just so unapologetic, pro-work and anti-politics:

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.

Damn, son! It's clear, directed, intentioned, and opinionated, and it shows the consequences.
