In authoritarian environments, any compassion you show the declared enemy is a grave offense and needs to be punished severely.
Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza

This seems like it should be more of a “write-up” type of offense, rather than skipping straight to terminating employment. This is a vigil, not a protest. Microsoft: “how dare you mourn those killed by a genocidal regime.”
BTW - what is everyone’s favorite non-MS suite of office programs? I’ve been using Only Office, but curious what others think.

Microsoft makes a lot of money hosting the platform that enables the efficient leveling of Gaza. They’re the new IBM in many ways.

Seconded! Been using the suite for years and it rocks. It’s also multi-OS compatible, which is super handy.

I am glad it’s worked for so many. I wasn’t able to adapt to it.
