Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’

Cancelled Xbox game pass and installing PopOS. Fuck Microsoft

the email to Aboussad reads. “It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.”

Obviously there were going to fire these employees, especially the one who gave notice then did this.

But why the fuck would anyone be like “yOu DiDn’T eVeN aPoLoGiZe To ThE cOmPaNy”? That’s the stupidest god damn thing I’ve heard since “Liberation Day”

Is anyone surprised? Maybe the surprising part is that she's still alive and only got fired.

Microsoft has policy that prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations. Court should rule Microsoft violated its own policies...

The fact that they're asking her to apologize is Just ass backwards.

They should apologize, and look into the issue, and possibly, stop, war profiting.

That's okay. They're going to lose a lot of Windows users, forcing them to upgrade Perfectly good computers.

I would have been surprised if they hadn’t fired her. Good on those two for causing a ruckus for a cause they believe in though. Nonviolent one too, well done.

the best thing i did was spend last month deleting the partitions in my desktop and laptop and installing mint.

Genocide Profiteer not War Profiteer

Fuck you Microsoft, if I wasn't already done with you for completely enshittifying your operating system, I would DEFINITELY be done with you for this.

Fuck off and continue to become a Kodak or Yahoo or other still existing washout company that totally lost the plot.

It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.

the fucking audacity. i mean, we all knew how it would end, but talk about 5d reverse psychology mindgames

Ah, yes, nothing quite like retaliating against someone who says you did a bad thing. Sure showed them!

Microsoft has recently been added to the BDS list. Do not forget to give their apps a review.

There is no such thing as "free speech" under capitalism.

As enraging as this whole story is, I don't think there's any coming back from 'you're a war profiteer'

Linux isn't perfect but I don't have to put up with that kind of bullshit from the makers of my OS. Glad I switched long ago and never looked back (except for the Windows laptop I keep around for games)

I am not worried about the firing part. This lady and her friends must have been added to the DHS list. They are going to deport her if she is on any visa or PR.

Well, what did they expect?

Not surprising, also seems like lawsuit material.

Of course they did

He's not wrong, but 'bringing your true self to work' is something companies like to say but they don't actually believe.
