Google recently fired over 20 more workers for participating in protests against the company’s cloud computing deal with the Israeli government, now totaling over 50 fired employees. This came after CEO Sundar Pichai warned against using Google as a platform for personal agendas. Protests have escalated at various universities and corporations over their connections with the Israeli government, with some activists disrupting office operations. Google’s decision to terminate these employees has sparked controversy, with accusations of quelling dissent. The company, known for its open internal culture, is now facing internal strife over the handling of the situation.
