Critical penalties for disruptive habits
Googlers,
You’ll have seen studies of protests at a few of our places of work yesterday. Sadly, various staff introduced the occasion into our buildings in New York and Sunnyvale. They took over workplace areas, defaced our property, and bodily impeded the work of different Googlers. Their habits was unacceptable, extraordinarily disruptive, and made coworkers really feel threatened. We positioned staff concerned underneath investigation and reduce their entry to our methods. Those that refused to go away had been arrested by regulation enforcement and faraway from our places of work.
Following investigation, at present we terminated the employment of twenty-eight staff discovered to be concerned. We are going to proceed to analyze and take motion as wanted.
Conduct like this has no place in our office and we won’t tolerate it. It clearly violates a number of insurance policies that every one staff should adhere to — together with our Code of Conduct and Coverage on Harassment, Discrimination, Retaliation, Requirements of Conduct, and Office Issues.
We’re a office and each Googler is predicted to learn our insurance policies and apply them to how they conduct themselves and talk in our office. The overwhelming majority of our staff do the best factor. In the event you’re one of many few who’re tempted to suppose we’re going to miss conduct that violates our insurance policies, suppose once more. The corporate takes this extraordinarily critically, and we are going to proceed to use our longstanding insurance policies to take motion in opposition to disruptive habits — as much as and together with termination.
You need to count on to listen to extra from leaders about requirements of habits and discourse within the office.
