Google fired 28 employees in connection with sit-in protests at two of its offices this week, according to an internal memo obtained by The Verge. The firings come after 9 employees were suspended and then arrested in New York and California on Tuesday.

In a memo sent to all employees on Wednesday, Chris Rackow, Google’s head of global security, said that “behavior like this has no place in our workplace and we will not tolerate it.”

He also warned that the company would take more action if needed: “The overwhelming majority of our employees do the right thing. If you’re one of the few who are tempted to think we’re going to overlook conduct that violates our policies, think again. The company takes this extremely seriously, and we will continue to apply our longstanding policies to take action against disruptive behavior — up to and including termination.”

    The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between 21 April and 4 May 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.[6]

    The original motto was retained.

    You’re mistaking “it’s not the first line” with “it got removed”

      Dude.

      Please read what I said. ALPHABET.

      ALPHABET HAS A DIFFERENT HANDBOOK. I have said this multiple times now.

      And I will say again - Alphabet copied the handbook in restructuring then removed it.

      The Google handbook IS NOT RELEVANT AT ALL. READ WHAT I WROTE.

        The article is about Google. Why does it matter that it’s missing from the Alphabet handbook?

          They commented “I don’t know why people keep saying they removed it”.

          People say that because it was big news when alphabet, in restructuring, removed/replaced it from their duplicate handbook. It was removed as the Google motto as well, and kept only in the last portion.

          So why do people think Google removed it? Becase ten years ago it was big news that Alphabet removed it.

          This ain’t rocket surgery.
