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.

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.

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.

A corporation is a corporation. It is calculating and predatory by its nature. It should never be mistaken for a friend. It may be an ally as long as it perceives you as useful. That's it.
