Summary
During Microsoft’s 50th anniversary event another employee protested the company’s relationship with the government of Israel.
This was the second protest of the day, the first being when Ibtihal Aboussad called Microsoft’s AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman “a war profiteer”.
“Shame on you all. You’re all hypocrites,” said Microsoft employee Vaniya Agrawal in reference to the company’s technology being used in the murder of 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
She also announced that she was leaving the company, and that her last day would be April 11th.
In an email to employees, she explained that she believed Microsoft was empowering the oppressors and contributing to genocide.
Microsoft’s technology has been implicated in a $133m contract between Microsoft and Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
