    I work at Google and I don’t want to be directly working in support of genocide. Should I:

    A: Work from within to sabotage Israel’s data and frustrate their efforts
    B: Get arrested for trespassing and fired for a performative gesture that accomplishes nothing

    🤔

      Assuming they’re competently reviewing performance, which many companies suck at, they’ll fire you for sabotaging from within and frustrating their efforts.

      What would work to your advantage is just getting lazy as hell and coasting until they have to fire you while on a PIP, and then you can negotiate a way into a nice severance and some unemployment.

        OK, but how do I get engagement and praise on X if I quietly get fired for laziness?

          What they’ve done has given the issue a lot of media attention. I myself had no idea Google was involved with this kind of project.

          The whole point is to get engagement.

          This is just an example, and I realize each job’s different, but one way of thinking is that from a service perspective, you’ve encouraged all your internal clientele and managers to funnel their requests and needs through a more centralized location as an accomplishment. Just leave out the laziness part. Example “I successfully encouraged our internal customers to send all support calls to go through our helpdesk to facilitate proper channels and project intakes, amplifying my productivity potential”.

          Just leave out the part that you were a lazy fuck who was intentionally coasting in order to screw the company over, thereby creating a pathway for work to negate you by default.

      A: get sent to jail for life

      B: get a slap in the wrist while getting huge media attention
