Google has terminated a total of over 50 employees in response to their participation in sit-in protests against the company's $1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government, known as Project Nimbus. The initial round of firings included 28 employees, with subsequent actions leading to over 20 more dismissals. The protests, which involved employees staging sit-ins at Google offices and resulted in 9 arrests, were primarily focused on the use of Google's technology in the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has responded to the protests by instructing employees to avoid political debates at work, emphasizing a focus on business rather than politics. The firings have sparked further discussions and criticisms regarding the role of political activism within the corporate environment.
