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 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.

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 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.
For being sexist intolerant bigots? I consider that a bit too far, but hey, being a piece of shit isn’t an opinion.
Thank you for outing yourself though, at least I know I’m wasting my time speaking with you.
Good luck with your fascist regime.
No, for voting on something you disagree on. Look at yourself. You immediately go for some fucked up comment on my position when you don’t even seem to understand it.
Your reaction would be similar to a MAGA-cunt saying something like “Well, good luck supporting those perverted child molesters you call trans”. Take a step back and touch some fucking grass, you utter tool.
You are the one who said “cancel”, maybe you should be more specific if you want people to understand. That’s obviously assuming there actually is something specific you are referring to and it is not some inexistent you problem.
Also, again, we are talking about a company supporting (multiple) fascist regimes, actual fascist regimes, not made up problems stemming from bigotry.
Just so you can put everything in perspective since you seem confused here.
