Google Workers Revolt Over $1.2 Billion Contract With Israel

The protest group, called No Tech for Apartheid, now has more than 200 Google employees closely involved in organizing, according to members, who say there are hundreds more workers sympathetic to their goals. TIME spoke to five current and five former Google workers for this story, many of whom described a growing sense of anger at the possibility of Google aiding Israel in its war in Gaza. Two of the former Google workers said they had resigned from Google in the last month in protest against Project Nimbus.

I predict layoffs in the future

ReallyActuallyFrankenstein,

Yup. There was a time Google was different from other companies and tolerated or actually listened to this. That time is gone.

MrNesser,

Didn’t google remove the do no evil part of their mission statement years ago.

mojo_raisin,

I heard in another comment from an employee that they technically did not, but claims don’t matter, actions do.

Armen12,

Google is straight up garbage. Easily one of the trashiest companies in American history

DdCno1,

Compared to what? Facebook? Exxon? United Fruit Company? The list of companies that have been significantly more harmful is long.
