« Nasty, tedious children, » as Beege called them yesterday, are now nasty, tedious, and unemployed children. More than two dozen Google employees that participated in sit-in at office in New York and California got fired late yesterday for their attempts to hijack executive strategy in relation to a contract with the Israeli government.
This should send some shock waves around the Left, and it’s no small irony to see the New York Times report on the proper manner in dealing with employee revolts too:
Google on Wednesday fired 28 workers after dozens of employees participated in sit-ins at the company’s New York and Sunnyvale, Calif., offices to protest the company’s cloud computing contract with the Israeli government.
A day earlier, nine employees were arrested on charges of trespassing at the two offices.
“Physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior,” a Google spokeswoman said in a statement.
The NYT learned this lesson in workplace management, too … eventually. Management infamously caved to an employee revolt over the publication of an opinion column from Senator Tom Cotton in 2020, firing longtime op-ed editor James Bennet to appease the mob, giving the employees the (accurate) impression that they ran the asylum. A couple of years later, however, a new management team sharply rebuked the staff for attempting to silence discussion of detransitioners by reminding them that the door was right over there and that they could find ten people to replace each and every one of the crybullies who chose to walk through it.
