#Microsoft fires employees who organized #vigil for #Palestinians killed in #Gaza
By MATT O’BRIEN
Updated 11:19 PM EDT, October 25, 2024"Microsoft has fired two employees who organized an unauthorized vigil at the company’s headquarters for Palestinians killed in Gaza during #Israel’s war with Hamas.
"The two employees told The Associated Press they were fired by phone call late Thursday, several hours after a lunchtime event they organized at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond, Washington.
"Both workers were members of a coalition of employees called '#NoAzureForApartheid' that has opposed Microsoft’s sale of its cloud-computing technology to the #IsraeliGovernment. But they contended that Thursday’s event was similar to other Microsoft-sanctioned employee giving campaigns for people in need.
"'We have so many community members within Microsoft who have lost family, lost friends or loved ones,' said #AbdoMohamed, a researcher and data scientist. 'But Microsoft really failed to have the space for us where we can come together and share our grief and honor the memories of people who can no longer speak for themselves.'"
