Google employees are demanding the company issue a climate plan that commits it to zero emissions by 2030.
An online petition posted Monday bears signatures from more than a thousand Google employees. It also calls on Google to decline contracts that would support the extraction of fossil fuels and to avoid collaborating with organizations involved with the oppression of refugees. Amazon and Microsoft employees have similarly called on their employer to take steps for climate change action. Workers from both companies joined climate marches in September.
Google employees have been especially vocal in issuing demands and calling for change within the company. Employees have protested sexual misconduct and forced arbitration practices within the company and Google's treatment of contract workers.
1,000 less employees wasting time would achieve that quite nicely.
If we want our governments in the United States and the world to comply with our environmental issues, we (and I mean billions of people) must have already done more than our part. Right now, these corporate lawmakers are waiting for us to burnout in this effort.
Replacing them with robots would be a start.
I'm sure that'll go well since it's basically one giant server farm.
they could start by firing a 1000 employees.
LOL. I CANT wait for the worldwide takedown of all you freaks
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving company 😁👌
Chances are whatever Google does will impact the bottom line and either raise prices or lower wages.
