Google fires more workers after CEO says workplace isn’t for politics
Quick Glance: Google dismisses workers following protests on technology deal with Israeli government
  • Following protests regarding the technology supplied to the Israeli government, Google has terminated employees, heightening tensions around a sensitive contract.

  • The confirmed dismissals by Google on Wednesday occurred after nine individuals were detained during sit-in demonstrations in New York and Sunnyvale, California, a day subsequent to police intervention.

  • Demonstrations are predominantly coordinated by a faction known as No Tech For Apartheid. Google states that Nimbus is not utilized for weaponry or intelligence purposes.

  • Stated in a blog post, Google's CEO Sundar Pichai implied a close supervision of employees as the company enhances efforts in advancing its AI technology, marking a crucial phase in the industry and potentially humanity.

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.'

Smaller towns in South Korea bear brunt of doctors’ shortage
Quick Glance: Smaller Towns in South Korea Struggle with Doctor Shortage
  • Hospitals in South Korea's smaller cities are facing a shortage of physicians as a nationwide strike by trainee doctors continues to protest plans to increase medical school admissions.

  • While Seoul has top-tier hospitals, smaller towns are suffering from a lack of doctors, exacerbated by an aging population and the world's lowest birth rates.

  • South Korea has one of the lowest doctor-to-patient ratios among developed countries, prompting government efforts to increase medical school enrollments, a move met with resistance from trainee doctors and medical groups.

  • Addressing the shortage of doctors in underserved areas and preventing them from clustering in Seoul requires not just an increase in doctor numbers but also policy changes, according to experts in the field.
