It wasn't over at that time. The real shift was after those people broke into Thomas Kurian's office. Right after, they permanently cracked down hard on various forms of employee expression, including posting flyers.
- thinkingemote 3mo agoThere was no mention of this on hacker news (at least I cant find anything via the search at the bottom) but the story of Thomas Kurian's office break in / sit in was in 2024 so not that long ago: https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/ryldympec https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/ryldympec "Google employees arrested following protest over Israel ties at executive’s office. The employees were arrested during a sit-in at the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in California, during a day of company-wide protests by Google employees at offices across the US in protest of Google’s Project Nimbus deal with Israel"
