Getting your message out and then quitting is the way to go. Don't be a part of the hate machine and deny them of your skillset.

I don't want Google's engineers to have 100% Israel support though

They would really have to rely heavily on Gemini at that point. I don't think you can find many highly educated engineers who are so oblivious.

Works for the devil and then complains it's evil.

Kind of on you, buddy. If you can get a job there, you can get a job many places and not be complicit in this.

Well, now he's not working there anymore, but he's looking for a big payout. Zhe refused to do work for genocidal maniacs, which is good.

Stop using Google. Google is evil.

[–] const_void@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

I always wonder what kind of people go to work for Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. They must be totally unscrupulous and only in it for the money.

I mean this company does business with ICE. Who did you think you were working for?
