During a presentation by an executive with Google’s Israel branch on Monday, a Google Cloud engineer stood up and shouted, “I refuse to build technology that powers genocide or surveillance.” They were later fired.

My understanding is that no one’s been getting hired in tech right now due to all the hiring freezes. What world do y’all live in?
I got hired ~5 months ago at a big tech company.
Fair enough. That hasn’t been my experience for the last almost 2 years. Teams in our org have been told that if they lose people they can’t hire replacements. Shit’s sucked
I’ve also been hearing about massive layoffs at tons of the biggest companies. I’d be surprised if they were still hiring, obviously.
Work in tech. I still regularly get recruitment emails. if I had google on my LinkedIn, I assume I would be getting at least twice as many.
