Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics

Personally if my customer was using my services to figure out the optimal time to kill someone in a way that also kills their family, and my employees were collectively protesting that, I would just decline their money.

Sure, if all it takes is raising a rainbow flag on top of the building and some words of the CEO they are all for it. But as soon as Google's bottom line is involved they behave pretty predictable.

See also YouTube happily selling millions of dollars in advertising every year to the Orbán regime and pals. If you don't have AdBlock or premium in Hungary you get five minutes of brainwashing before every video.

These are the same regime saying that the fact that gay people exist is propaganda and a threat to children. If Google actually gave a fuck they could start with that.

Any semblance of being progressive is horseshit if you're happy to do business with fascists overseas.

Why would it take your employees protesting for you to choose this?

Sounds like the union is not strong enough. 50 workers being fired should be enough for everyone else to be like wtf.
