Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent a 1,200-word memo to his global workforce after pro-Palestinian staffers stormed offices in New York, Seattle and Sunnyvale, Calif.
In a well run company it isn’t. The ceo I work for doesn’t talk politics. Everyone assumes he’s a democrat but I would libertarian based on a few slips.
For the most part he avoids politics. Either way you are making half the people mad and potential alienating half your customers.
I can get behind both ideas. I think it really depends on the culture, and team morale. Lets be real, sometimes you just want some water cooler talk instead of going to another meeting. And sometimes, that one guy talks so much, you hesitate inviting him to any meetings because you know he’ll make it twice as long as it should be. As goes the old saying goes, it’s all about balance.
I’m of the mind that you can talk about minor things, like sports and the weather and whatnot, but if you start bragging about your teams latest win to your coworkers excessively, well, take it down a few notches. Don’t make others uncomfortable.
And don’t talk politics. At best, you’ll make enemies of idiots, at worst, you’ll outed as the idiot.
Google is invested in information technology and all that, but why does that necessarily mean they must have a relationship with Israel to more effectively target Palestinians using Google Cloud for artificial applications?
If you don’t like it leave. It’s that simple.
In a Marxist country, you’d be put in prison for disagreeing. In a country like ours, you can go create your own company to compete with Google if you don’t like what they do
But that still leaves Google supplementing genocide and them out of job
America doesn’t see it as genocide. Neither does Google. Sometimes it’s a tough pill to swallow but not everyone agrees it’s a genocide. I don’t. The only people I see being genocide are the Jews which is why Gaza is being invaded.
Ideally they’d do their job. They’re not a charity. Pichai did the right thing. Their customer is buying their products. The employees can work or be fired. That’s their options.
This is why the older generation is bitter, they spent their whole lives working while the stuff that mattered passed them by. They don’t get it’s life, don’t miss your life chasing money. 🙃

Exactly.
Poor leadership permits political talk. Or any talk that is divisive or off-topic.
Talking about your weekend escapades is also frowned upon, for the same reasons - they’re both juvenile, ego-centric, and off topic.
No professional wants to hear about how drunk you got and who you screwed.
This is like business 101 stuff.

Or at least, that’s my two cents.

There is no mass murder going on. You’re seeing something most people don’t see.
How many murders in a mass murder?
The answer is 3. If Israel has killed more than 3 Palestinian civilians, it’s mass murder according to US law.
Just because the current leadership won’t come out and say it doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
This is why the younger generation struggles at work. They don’t get its work. It’s not play time while getting paid.

Who’s bitter? The only bitter people I know around below 25.
