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.

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.

The fact that you think Microsoft is apolitical and "just about money" is cute.

[–] RangerHere@programming.dev -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The fact that you think Microsoft owes you anything is even cuter.

You are putting words in my mouth.
