Goose, an ex-Googler, didn't participate in the sit-in, but got fired anyway. They witnessed harassment of workers who spoke out against Project Nimbus.
Evan took part in the sit-in, and was fired without warning or investigation. Quotes a saying:
"When the wrong person uses the right means, the right means work in the wrong way."
Project Nimbus is textbook evil.
Google has been lying about the Project Nimbus contract over and over again. Nimbus falls directly under the 'israeli' military.
Google and Amazon are directly aiding and abetting the genocidal campaign in Gaza through this contract.
Instead of taking responsibility and terminating all collaboration with the occupation forces, Google punches down against workers who raise concerns.
An ex-Googler who joined the sit-in on 16 April at the NYC office: They were doxxed by a co-worker, and experienced harassment during the sit-in. Google security didn't intervene. The next day, they were fired.
They haven't been told which policies, if any, they are supposed to have violated.
They encourage others to keep speaking up -- especially in large numbers.
Another testimony from a fired ex-Googler: At Google we talk a lot about feedback. But feedback to Google itself isn't tolerated. Instead, Google is lying about what really happened, and retaliates against workers who speak out.
A Palestinian-American ex-Googler, who has family in Gaza, gives testimony about how they were fired from Google for holding up a sign in support of Palestine outside the building.
They weren't even part of the sit-ins.

And as the zionist genocide of the people of Palestine goes from atrocity to atrocity, instead of terminating its agreement, Google instead doubled down on its complicity with these war crimes, signing a new $1M agreement with the โisraeliโ military as recently as 27 March 2024 (!)
