Microsoft President Brad Smith to staff: Anybody smart enough to get a job here is smart enough to know you don’t get to…
Microsoft President Brad Smith delivered a blunt message to employees during an internal meeting last week: workers who occupied his office during Gaza-related protests deserved to lose their jobs. “Let me say this, anybody who is smart enough to get a job at Microsoft is smart enough to know that you don’t get to storm in and break into buildings and occupy other people’s offices and keep your job at Microsoft,” Smith said, according to Business Insider.
The Redmond giant fired four employees in August after protesters broke into and occupied Smith’s office, participating in a sit-in that called for Microsoft to cut ties with the Israeli military amid the Gaza conflict.
