  They dropped that one quietly a couple of years ago. I guess around the time they started doing contracts for Israel?

    That’s not something you put in your contract unless you’re planning on doing something that’ll attract boycotts

    Would genocide count? 🤔

      Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be enough for most western countries.

    I mean for many (myself included) setting up shop in Israel is reason enough for boycotting an organisation.

    The tech companies are also forbidden from denying service to any particular government entities.

    That includes Palestine, right?

    Right?

    They didn’t drop it. It was still in the handbook in 2022 when I signed it.

    People like to claim they dropped it: but it’s still there.

    Now since I was laid off in the mass 2023 wave I can’t speak to it’s current state but I’d be shocked if they removed it.

      It was dropped by alphabet from their handbook.

      Almost 10 years ago iirc.

        My guy I literally worked there and signed the employee handbook. Don’t Be Evil was right before you signed if I remember right. Regardless: it is 100% in the handbook.

    Is going on strike considered boycotting?

      I guess Google didn’t want to risk finding out.
