Nice bootlicking there, mate!
Do you think im working for them?
Right now you are basically defending them
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.
You are the one trying to discredit the main source though.
There is no source. That is the whole point. You believe some random account on Instagram. Forgive me for asking for better information.
Keep calm and wait for the statement mentioned in the post, like everyone else.
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.
I won't. I can distinguish between my private time vs the company time.
I'll rephrase: I hope reality will never knock at your door to prove you were wrong.
Let me know if you still can't grasp the concept.
It won't... Again, I can distinguish between company time and private time.
Employment is an exchange of time from employee for resources from employer.
Microsoft is not saying you can't support Palestine. You can.
That being said, Palestinian employees interrupted public and private Microsoft events. That caused monetary damage to Microsoft. Microsoft is saying that is no longer welcome during the company time using company resources. That is 100% within their right.
You still don't get it.
Where do you draw the line then?
Is it when, for example, supporting Palestine even in "private time" becomes a reason to fire you?
Is it when saying something Microsoft doesn't want you to say becomes a punishable offense?
Tell me.
You mean like all of those who got cancelled for having private opinions? That already happened. Just not for things that you care about. There are plenty of examples of people who got fired for having "wrongthink" privately.
Stop pretending that you have some ethical high ground.
The fact that you think Microsoft is apolitical and "just about money" is cute.
The fact that you think Microsoft owes you anything is even cuter.
You are putting words in my mouth.
You're bootlicking
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.
Go lick some boots
