Willfully disrupting meetings? Lol. That's not "one small thing", that's "this guy has no place inside a mcdonalds as a CUSTOMER, let alone inside a company"
This kind of behavior doesn't scale. Eventually you have people that just give in to the hysterics because they just want to do their job and not fight ideological battles and the ideologues take over the company. See: how dei took over google and we got gemini.
If speaking up against supplying surveillance and AI systems (to a state under investigation for genocide) is political, then so is supplying the systems in the first place.
If you have an issue with being protested, maybe don't directly assist the world's most live-streamed set of daily atrocities.
lol what? Standing up and yelling during a meeting is probably the tip of the iceberg. They’re also trying to stage protests, etc.
Nah this person wasn’t working productively any more, as far as I can tell. Worse, they were reducing productivity of others. Possibly making an unsafe work environment.
It’s not about being sensitive or even agreeing. It’s about making product. If we were chopping wood and someone stopped chopping to complain about inner city transit systems. You’d fire them.
