I wonder if the reaction from Google would the reaction be the same if they were protesting for LGBTQ? or BLM? or would they be happily cheered on here.
And should those employees had been fired, would HN have a melt down about free speech and expression? I could absolutely imagine a full investigation into Google's leadership in that case.
Let's not pretend that certain causes gets a free pass while others don't. Will there no longer be politics at Google now? I guess we will have to wait until the BLM outbreak to determine but I doubt it.
For the record I don't have any specific comments on this war and I think what Google thing was right and politics don't have a place in the workforce but I feel obliged to point out the hypocrisy.
Either you are a company full of activist and embrace it or you shut it down entirely. You don't get to pick and choose your favorite cause; it just makes you look spineless.
