the email to Aboussad reads. “It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.”
Obviously there were going to fire these employees, especially the one who gave notice then did this.
But why the fuck would anyone be like “yOu DiDn’T eVeN aPoLoGiZe To ThE cOmPaNy”? That’s the stupidest god damn thing I’ve heard since “Liberation Day”
What about "you haven't even thanked us!" to Zelensky?
Same energy.
Is anyone surprised? Maybe the surprising part is that she's still alive and only got fired.
Microsoft has policy that prevents it from retaliatory actions against human rights violations. Court should rule Microsoft violated its own policies...
IBM had a role in the holocaust. Those numbers tattooed on everyone in the concentration camp? Those were IBM ID numbers for the punch cards.
If IBM staff protested about their role, it’s been lost to history. But it’s repeating today with Gaza and the staff who speak out are being demonized. Israel’s Lavender AI is being used to kill civilians. History will prove this woman and the other employees right in the end.
Depends who controls the narrative and how it plays out.
The fact that they're asking her to apologize is Just ass backwards.
They should apologize, and look into the issue, and possibly, stop, war profiting.
That's okay. They're going to lose a lot of Windows users, forcing them to upgrade Perfectly good computers.
I would have been surprised if they hadn’t fired her. Good on those two for causing a ruckus for a cause they believe in though. Nonviolent one too, well done.
Exactly what a war profiteer would do.
the best thing i did was spend last month deleting the partitions in my desktop and laptop and installing mint.
"I'm not interested in arguing" -someone who knows they're in the wrong, but still holds the power
Genocide Profiteer not War Profiteer
Fuck you Microsoft, if I wasn't already done with you for completely enshittifying your operating system, I would DEFINITELY be done with you for this.
Fuck off and continue to become a Kodak or Yahoo or other still existing washout company that totally lost the plot.
What happened to Kodak?
Kodak went from being a major player in the photography industry to being completely blindsided by digital photography.
Willfully blind. Eastman Kodak invented the first digital camera in 1975, but decided to focus on their existing, profitable product lines. Clayton Christensen describes the process in The Innovator's Dilemma.
Yes, this is basically every large US tech company right now
It is also concerning that you have not apologized to the company, and in fact you have shown no remorse for the effect that your actions have had and will have.
the fucking audacity. i mean, we all knew how it would end, but talk about 5d reverse psychology mindgames
you have not apologized to the company
Writing this should be grounds for a mandatory psych ward commitment
Ah, yes, nothing quite like retaliating against someone who says you did a bad thing. Sure showed them!
Microsoft has recently been added to the BDS list. Do not forget to give their apps a review.
