This is such a bad-faith, shallow take. Ascribing the act of bringing awareness to “participation trophies” is nonsense.

I also disagree with the parent. Bringing change is almost always easiest from within. “Don’t like it? Leave.” stances aim to do more to attack the person involved than it does to take a critical look at whatever problem it is that’s being discussed.

It is not "don't like it? leave.", it is "stop working for immoral organizations". Would you consider a guard of a concentration camp ethical if they "condemned" the actions of the government but continued to support them via their work? I wouldn't.

The fact that they're working at Google in the first place shows they're not that ethical to begin with.

But nearly everyone has limits, and the petition signing limit was reached for these 1200 Google employees.

We'll see if the quitting limit is ever reached for any of them.

You don't need to leave, you can strike for example. "Condemning" does nothing.

It's a moral problem. If the organization you work for is immoral, by knowingly continuing to work for them you are materially cooperating in the evil they are doing and are morally culpable yourself. Sure, you can refuse to materially cooperate, but then they will fire you anyhow, as we see here.
