Microsoft fires Joe Lopez for disrupting Genocide-profiteer Satya Nadella during Microsoft Build Keynote speech and bans words like “Palestine”, “Gaza” and “Genocide” in all company emails!!! Yet another chapter in a long tale of Microsoft’s intimidation, retaliation, repression, and censorship culture.

    A company[1] excommunicates a worker[2] for disrupting work[3] and having not worked for the amount of time the worker was disrupting the work.

    At least logically sound.

    It is not a community. It is not a non-profit, community oriented company. It is a company that does whatever it does, for money and power for itself ant not for anyone that gives power to it.
    It is to be expected.


    Why did companies start getting power over the people more than the organisations that are supposed to be for the people?


    1. which is basically a dictatorship by the top management, for the top management ↩︎

    2. that is here on paper, to work and nothing else and be paid for that ↩︎

    3. as is defined by the top management and not by any other entity ↩︎

      Yeah, actively protesting about your employer has a pretty predictable outcome. They had to know that going in (and props for having the balls to do it) but I doubt they were surprised.

        Well, at least giving MS props for “being the whole bitch”, as Louis Rossmann would say, instead of trying to give some other, 2 faced explanation for the firing.
        Or did they?

      You’ve got it backwards. For most of history it was the other way around. We got to see a brief tantalizing glimpse of it in the 'oughties and naughties, and then the people who’s lifestyle depends on an exploitable workforce got scared and decided that was enough freedom for the peons

        But wasn’t it that for most of history, there were no such pyramidal corporations and the only ones that were, were full-blown kingdoms, with the more trade-oriented ones, being more co-operative than corporate?

        While trying to articulate my thoughts, I realise how lacking my historical information regarding this aspect is. I guess there might have been more corporate entities during the reconnaissance.

      The source is the No Azure For Apartheid post.

      You literally hear about them everytime a Microsoft employee disturb a event/ publicly protest Microsoft actions.

                Defending what? You’re the one with a single source of nonsense. Get a better source and I might believe whatever this post is trying to project.

                With all due respect, no company in the world has to pick sides. They can choose a side or do nothing. If you don’t like what they are doing, you can boycott them.

                I don’t see anything wrong with Microsoft silencing Palestinian protesters after what they did in some public and some private events at the company.

                  I hope you will never be victim of the consequences of your own shortsighted thought.

                Says the one who believes single sources on the internet, as long as they fit their belief.

                You’re closer to being qanon than you think.
