Idt it’s political beliefs. The protestor was sorta heckling a presentation to my eye.

Edit:

This is even brought up in the second bullet of the linked page.

> The worker stood and shouted during a presentation by Google Israel's managing director.

If their reason for doing it was a political cause it was a protest.

Hecklers only cause is heckling.

ok, still way to much to get fired over. one small thing ? lol americans are so sensitive

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.

[hhh]

Keep politics out of the workplace and you won’t have a problem.

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.

If they kept chopping wood it would be fine though.

Why do they not keep chopping wood in your example?

Someone arranging a protest, yelling during meetings, etc is not working any more.

Maybe not for keeping a job, but as evidenced by media coverage awareness was raised.
