Google CEO Sundar Pichai made it clear that disrupting the company's offices to make political statements would not be tolerated after anti-Israel protesters staged sit-ins last week.
The arrest and subsequent termination of more than two dozen Google employees involved in protests held at the tech giant's offices last week prompted CEO Sundar Pichai to address the matter with the workers who remained on the payroll.
We have a culture of vibrant, open discussion that enables us to create amazing products and turn great ideas into action. That's important to preserve," Pichai wrote. "But ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform, or to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics.
