Comment on Google fires 28 employees after protest over Israel cloud contract

Alphabet <> Google.

The parent company, Alphabet, removed it from the handbook. I couldn’t tell you if they put it back in, but Alphabet removed it about 10 years ago.

This is not some conspiracy theory, it was released, they replaced that section of the handbook.

The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between 21 April and 4 May 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[6]

The original motto was retained.

You’re mistaking “it’s not the first line” with “it got removed”

Linking news articles from click bait sites doesn’t help your argument.

  Dude.
  
  Please read what I said. ALPHABET.
  
  ALPHABET HAS A DIFFERENT HANDBOOK. I have said this multiple times now.
  
  And I will say again - Alphabet copied the handbook in restructuring then removed it.
  
  The Google handbook IS NOT RELEVANT AT ALL. READ WHAT I WROTE.

    The article is about Google. Why does it matter that it’s missing from the Alphabet handbook?

    They commented “I don’t know why people keep saying they removed it”.
    
    People say that because it was big news when alphabet, in restructuring, removed/replaced it from their duplicate handbook. It was removed as the Google motto as well, and kept only in the last portion.
    
    So why do people think Google removed it? Becase ten years ago it was big news that Alphabet removed it.
    
    This ain’t rocket surgery.
