    I was fired last week by Google for organizing. All I did was make a popup to share the labor notice Google has to share with its workers. 3 hours later mgmt came to my desk, took my phone/laptop, escorted me away. I never got to say goodbye.

        In 6th grade I read a book about how Larry & Sergey created Google. I knew it was where I wanted to work one day. I dropped out at 16, by 19 I became (I think!) the youngest security engineer ever hired. I care deeply about Google users, I loved writing code to keep them safe.

        This month should've been a big one for me: I was promoted by Google about a month ago and was hoping to celebrate over the holidays. My performance was judged to be "superb," in the top 2% of Google workers. Instead, I got fired. I'm spending the holidays looking for jobs.

        Hours after pushing the notification live they took my devices & put me on administrative leave. They then ‘investigated me’ and on Friday, after three weeks on admin leave, fired me for a policy they couldn’t explain. Here's pic of the popup.pic.twitter.com/Ltfef8dSc0

        I was involved with past organizing at Google. This includes protesting Google developing drones for the military and speaking out against Google’s work for CBP —tech is not amoral.

        As tech workers we must take responsibility over the products we build. We cannot let upper management dictate how we use our labor. Google would be a far better firm—smarter and more ethical—if workers had more control over what they create. That's what I was fighting for.

        And I don’t plan to stop fighting. With help from @cwaunion my lawyer filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge yesterday to the @NLRB. Here it is.pic.twitter.com/3xaPVS4qSi

        Google claims to value transparency. It's billed itself as a moral, open company since the beginning, but recent actions have eroded this culture. When this was pointed out to management, it doubled down and retaliated against organizers.

        Everybody talks about how people died for our right to vote, but a lot of people also died for our right to be in a Union too. Yet somehow we seem to have ceded much of that right without a real struggle. And then we bemoan wealth inequality.

        Hell. People died to get the 5 day work week, 8 hr day, COFFEE BREAKS for f**k sake!Anyone who has ever been paid time & a half for overtime can thank unions. Anyone who’s worked it at straight pay has been robbed (it’s called wage theft). The Labour Code only works if protected

        I did read those same documents. They didn't mention that you get fired for exercising rights granted by federal law.
