Microsoft bans words like "Palestine", "Gaza" and "Genocide" in all company emails and fires the employee who protested Microsoft during event.

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'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.
Microsoft owes their employees and customers EVERYTHING. It's funny to see you argue that a corporation whose success can be traced easily by history to their customers and employees does not owe them anything.
It's that sick mindset of "I Alone am the success of this company" of capitalists who don't understand cooperation.
Human civilization could not exist without cooperation.
