According to a report by The Verge, the protestors stormed Smith’s office and staged a sit-in, demanding the tech giant cut ties with the Israeli government. Both current and former Microsoft workers streamed the protest on Twitch, walking into Building 34 that houses top executives, and then into Smith’s office.
