This is incredibly brave of the employees involved. It is easy to condemn genocide from the outside; it's much harder to speak up when these sales pay your salary. But that's exactly why workers need to speak up.

Don't understand these protests. When the war ramped up, Microsoft sent an email saying that they stand with Israel, that was the time to say no and quit.

This is just weird..

People still need a job and quitting doesn’t change anything

Agreed, but both protesters have left the company.

It also turns out both of the employees were recent hires (less than a 1 year tenure), it just makes it even weirder.
