Google 'personifies' the culture shift happening across corporate America: The Verge's Alex Heath

- Alex Heath, The Verge deputy editor, and Joanne Lipman, Yale University lecturer, join 'Squawk Box' to discuss the fallout from Google's firing of 50 employees after protests at company offices over a cloud computing deal with Israel, the broader shift in work culture across Big Tech and corporate America, FTC's ban on noncompete clauses, and more.
They are chanting "from the river to the sea"
Now they can chant "from the office to the streets"😂
Fun to make jokes about people who have actual integrity
@@esterhammerfichave integrity you say ? 😂 if they have integrity at ALL they wouldn't be protesting and be focusing on WORK
🤣
Google did right. I don’t want to hear about Israel and Palestine when I am at work. I want to do work and go home.
I think you represent (like I do) the vast majority of Americans. Work is for work, not politics. Our attitude represents traditional wisdom that stood for centuries until the last 20 years or so.. now business leaders are discovering WHY it was wisdom.. politics from businesses makes for poor business.
College campus = you pay to be a protester; Google campus = they pay you to do your job, not to impede business and to make others feel unsafe… common sense people!!!
Good! Fire all activists and hire great engineering talent.
Easy money is gone. IT companies will take any opportunity to fire workers
@@GeorgeSchneider8889it's easy to fire people when you know AI is right around the corner. These people are highly expendable
@@Vildayyan2003 One of my points. If you are familiar with Peter Zeihan, you know that tech jobs are f&cked for a foreseeable future.
they fired good engineers.
I love this because I have no issue with them holding a strike outside the company but to do it in the company was crazy ad taking over an area in the office is crazy
Whats sad is these are adults who still have no clue whats going on the middle east and thinking that protesting will give them a Disney ending.
They seem low IQ
They are realizing politics does not make you money.
Hoping Elon realizes that soon.
Back to the 70's. Never saw that coming [Frontline guy voiceover: "He did, in fact, 'see it coming'"].
Imagine... years later... company employees acting like activists at work, "Give us what we want or we'll do a sit-in and shut down the office." Weed those employees out now.
Its a workplace and its an 'at will' employment contract. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.
There are 1000s to replace them. Also fire those who recruited them.
And deport them.
That's it exactly! The recruiting process is still a mess at these big tech companies. They keep highering the same type of employees and with the DEI process that they say they are enacting now nothing will change. I should be considered a DEI candidate because I am not liberal but that’s not how DEI works. It’s largely an echo chamber of the same philosophy because the managers are all that way.
go to work, do your job, get paid and go home and do what you want!
Not really unless you find out your work kills babies, humans are not machines maybe you have no moral compass others do
I think this generation of workers are learning the lesson they never received from their parents or professors, the ppl paying you are in charge as long as u continue to work for them, you can always quit but u are NOT the boss if u choose to continue to work there, what a new concept 😂
By 'culture shift' you mean demographic replacement.
Yep
Just look at London
I am sure part of the reason that Google is finding it easier to fire staff is that they realized most of these jobs were created for DEI purposes and don't actually contribute to the productivity or profitability of the company. Also, advances in AI and other systems are probably making some jobs there obsolete.
We like USA to be a Christian country.
Same
But USA is an immigrants country and native Americans have more rights than any religion or people
Good for Google!
Cultural shift? They definitely live in a bubble… every place I have worked at you would get fired if you pulled something like this
Who knew that supporting terrorists is bad for your career.
Free Palestine ✌🏼
@@ayousry Fired!
Seems like there still are people who think Hamas and Palestine are the same thing.
Yeah but theres also a ton of people who support Hamas cause they heard about the Israeli defence's actions - they just dont know better. @@gabor6259
@@gabor6259 Hamas is the elected government of the Gaza Strip... sooo
You can tell who is in charge by who you can't criticize
So Black people?
Doesn't apply here... they barged into managements offices and wouldn't leave
they damaged company property, they caused work disruptions, they ignored company rules. It's called at will employment, look it up.
So the blacks and sexual minorities? Got it.
So.... basically everyone's in charge?
What the actual hell, did Andrew really associate workers with inmates? That’s actually wild.
Mainstream media sir, they have their pitch
Good work, google bravo workplace should be for work, not for pushing activism
Criticisms of Israel has never really been tolerated. We are told how to think about this very aggressively by the media, financial centers, and our political leaders. It’s changing, but they are resisting.
Google Cloud does business with the IDF. Go to your employers ceo office and protest one of your clients. See what happens.
@@michaelhutchings6602 My point is no one can really go at Israel in any arena. It's verboten in America. That will change, but their grip on my country is very powerful.
@@Zenny1220 You can protest Israel on any street corner in this country. Don’t be shocked if it turns out most people disagree with you and those who support you also happen to hate Jews.
@@Zenny1220bruv your comments are so cringe. It’s the big they after all of us. As if we don’t have freedom of speech. Plenty of anti Israel support and propaganda is freely distributed, as it should be. Americans have to decide for themselves. I think your average educated American would agree at a minimum that the situation in Israel is complicated with no easy solution.
You are free to say what you want, and suffer the consequences of those with power
Simply marvellous
there was no open debates, its was blue on blue
It's not 2016 and 2020 anymore. The party is over. The C-suite is realizing they need people to work, not protest, cry and be activists on company dime and time. AI is getting very competitive and Google could lose the AI horse race to OpenAI or another competitor, effectively spelling the end of their business in the coming decades. It's time to work, boys and girls, not march for BLM or Gaza etc.
Believe what I believe or you're fired. Sounds like a great workplace.
Are you daft? Have your beliefs, but don’t harass your coworkers.
Imagine having a sit in at a managers office. Smh are u that dense ??
They did achieve the goal what they have been chanting. From the river to the sea now they’re are free from a job. Bravo bravo.
how is DEI not political? Google preaches DEI mantra.
For some people... their morals are not for sale. Free Palestine!
Whats stopping you from going over there and helping then? You know besides being a coward and lying about how much you actually care.
Go to Gaza bro and support your cause! No need to virtue signal on the internet.. that move is actually immoral given the 'their morals are not for sale' stance. Either support for Palestine is primary and they act on their beliefs, or the person is just trying to get virtue points.
Is his eye okay?
Gotta woke the woke
The engineers took a stand and are paying the price for it. I think it’s a win win for everyone.
Imagine if it happens in india how America will react?
Baldy sent me here.
Great!! Go back to meritocracy. Talent over DEI 😊
💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Klan 2.0
Kamala Harris worst Vp ever. She can’t string two sentences together.
@@DjangoVonShaftlol what
Silicon Valley has always been a meritocracy. Some high achievers come from areas of the world where they don't like Israel's contract with Google for project Nimbus because they know what it's capable of. Killing lists.
It's easy to fire people now when AI can do their jobs.
I work as a software engineer. AI is not endangering ANYONE's job! It is non-sentient and not even close to being there in the next 2 centuries. Stop spreading lies.
Who would be dumb enough to protest in office 😂
Google dors no evil lol. What a joke
Those workers need to learn who they are working for: their techno feudalist lords.
So she called the name of the Lord who spoke
to her, “You are a God of seeing,” for she said,
“Truly here I have seen Him who looks after me.”
-Genesis 16:13 Of Hagar
Hopefully they will clean house on the people involved with Gemini. What a complete humiliation. Changing customers' searches without their knowledge so you get back woke results. Black Roman emperors? Really quite unbelievable.
They can now go to Palestine to protest.
Tech employment is cyclical. There were a ton of layoffs in the aftermath of the internet bubble of 2000. I've been in the tech since the 1970s and you kept your head down, did your work and kept your mouth shut about politics so that you wouldn't offend anyone. I've been through many, many rounds of tech layoffs and we're in a downturn now and you really don't want to give your employer a reason to fire you.
Tech?
why pick on Elon when it's Google??? You are also part of the problem of blaming.
no kidding... funny how the commies just hate free speech...
A new Boeing, Intel and such is being born, they are taking the path of failures
👍
can we just get thru one news piece without equating the mildest criticism of israel's right wing theocracy to antisemitism?
It’s all about money. They are soooo biased
Who ?
Boycott Google!
LOL... whatever you say Bing!
Lmao
Pls go ahead
do it then, just so you know youtube also belongs to google.
Move to Gaza and post your Burka
employees = inmates ?
Um, employment in the US is at will for both employee and employer. Anyone can separate at any time. In no way does that ever equilibrate to being a prisoner.
"employees = inmates' is a very ignorant statement.
LLMs are causing the commoditization of software engineering
If Google did business with North Korea or Syria - they would have no problems with it.
This is what we mean when we say antisemitism - those seemingly "moral" choices that, when put on a normalized benchmark, obviously stand out as double standards.
American company aligned with American foreign policy. Think about it … you’re extremely naive
Another common core kid with a participation trophy……
They don't even know what they are protesting. Next week it's Starbucks march on Starbucks.
I wonder who can hire people google fired because this.
Keep deleting my comments you tyrants!
Christy was a Hot 🔥 mixed sacrmramunto Kings 🤴 basketball player in the 90s and 2000s when i was in California but do you think Arabs or Jews are going to think of him highly,? Sacramento kings should've drafted me because my light colour is pure inherited from my semitic tribe
Being sad about an uncouth politician winning is not political.
imagine getting hired because of DEI, realizing you can't do any of the work, spending all your time protesting instead and then monkeybranching to another 300k salary job after chatgpt'ing a resume of things you never did. this is the kind of person whose bs we have to pretend we don't see or else we get fired
DEI exists because of racist comments like this.
50 or 28?
asmon-kun
Fire them all. Bye Bye go work in the country you are protesting for.
Just means execs sold out the heart of the company for a wall street related bonus.
Bravo! Makes me almost like google.
You're using their effing property TH-cam dude!
Good work Google!!!!
Who cares. What this has to do with the stock?
These are not engineers
Google needs to understand there are 1.5 bln Muslims they need to address and they are putting all of this at risk for a tiny military contract with Israel… I think this CEO is really limited and he is taking this amazing company from one disaster to another
Google stock just hit an all time high, so I think the CEO is doing just fine.
I love this
Sergey and Larry, the Google founders, have Jewish ties. No wonder.
One is from ISREAL one if from Soviet union
If 10 idiots sat inside your office chanting, you would call foul too.
palestine will hire them.... it is a business, not an university campus..
Good job Google. Politics do not belong in the work place.
google made a mistake by firing them, they should have engaged and listen.
LOL!
I've been waiting for these Activists in Google and others to be fired/laid off.
Contradiction:
1. They are supposed to be sooooo smart
2. They do the dumbest things
They started getting involved in local politics, and started pushing for impractical ideas in a tyrannical manner (like 2 year olds making demands)
We had a city wide vote and stopped their ideas.
But their behaviors are based on they a are right, you're wrong, and you'll pay the price.
I also rented to some of them, kinda goofy and child like. They don't like to fulfill their contractual obligations. I think because they think they are so important.
I am old tech. We just went to work, did our job, and did politics on our own time
Sheesh
Thank you Google 👍
The politics dont suit their bottom line....oh well.
love it! take your dumb issues to the unemployment line!
Congrats Google.
Where were they during the Trump Administration. Cultural shift my axx
Back to the basement with your expresso machines
Good move by Google.
Good way to go google
Google is full of 💩
Yet here u are on a google owned company
@@jonnyfendi2003 LAM
No kidding...people need to work and not be babies all day
Good these idiots got fired. You are there to work so work, If you want to play politics then go join Washington.
Why suppress free thinkers… people should have the right to protest. Else our corporate overlords will do whatever they want.
Yes. No support for Hamas! Period.
Since they are free ask them go to Palestine and free those people also 😂😂😂😂
finally google making the right decisions!
Nice move by Google👏
Good for Google!
