pcmag.com/news/google-fires-28-employees-after-protest-over-israeli-military-contract
Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: 'GTA 6' Publisher Makes Layoffs and Cancels Projects
- Publisher Take-Two Interactive, known for Grand Theft Auto IV, plans to lay off five percent of its workforce by the end of the year and cancel various projects currently in development.
- These decisions were disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday, outlining briefly Take-Two's 'cost reduction program.' The company anticipates the plan to save $165 million annually and 'enhance the Company’s margin profile.'
- Several video games in development, including GTA 6, are expected to break sales records upon release next year.
- Even though CEO Strauss Zelnick explicitly stated in February that the company had no plans for job cuts, layoffs are distressing even in the best of times. The impact of these measures on Take-Two's development teams remains to be seen.
