    It’s insane how all the corporate companies are just allying and okay with genocide, apartheid, racism, hatred and everything related to it. Not surprising but it’s insane.

      I dunno, maybe you just should not talk about your personal political views on your work email?

      You know, like any normal well adjusted person.

        There is an argument for that to an extent.

        Microsoft’s support of Israel’s genocide is an exception and has been a long time.

          I think anyone with half a brain would realize that disrupting a company event and calling your boss a “genocide profiteer” will definitely get you fired.
