Quick Glance: Google Fires More Employees Following Israel Deal Protests
- An activist group has reported that Google has terminated at least 20 more employees in response to protests over the technology supplied to the Israeli government amid the Gaza conflict, bringing the total number of dismissed employees to over 50.
- This serves as another indication of internal unrest at the tech giant, revolving around 'Project Nimbus,' a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021 for Google and Amazon to provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli government.
- Last week, demonstrations were held by employees at Google offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California, resulting in the company contacting law enforcement, leading to subsequent arrests.
- According to Google, the additional terminations were carried out after an investigation gathered information from colleagues who were 'physically disrupted,' and employees were identified who wore masks and did not carry their ID badges to conceal their identities. The company refuted the group's allegations, asserting that it meticulously verified that 'each individual whose employment was terminated was personally and conclusively involved in disruptive activities within our premises.'
