What's dystopian about it? Employees violated company policy and they were fired because of it. There are acceptable and unacceptable ways to handle it, and those employees chose to handle it unprofessionally.
If they want to protest on their own time and on public property, they should have every right. But protesting on company property shouldn't have any special protections.
I'm no fan of Google and I think their business choices are despicable, but that doesn't change the fact that first amendment protections do not apply in a typical workplace, they only serve to restrict government action. So it's completely unsurprising that Google fired employees who destroyed company property and disrupted the work environment.
I think it's the part where they are ready to go to the extent of hiring a T800 from the future to kill your mother before you were born
I thought they were talking about the firing.
I totally agree with Google's partnership with Israel being dystopic.
Yes, I was only joking...
