The Nazis tried GaaS but wasn't quite spelled the same
I always wonder if those fired because of protests face some problems with finding another job?
From what I know, no. It's full of more politically-aligned workplaces, like NGOs and research groups, that crave politically-motivated people with tech skills. I know personally one of the fired workers that went on to do a PhD right after being fired.
Thank you for sharing that
But that ties you career to a stance. Which for sure often is a boon for many but not necessarily. The fact that one decides that something has to be spoken out does not mean that they for sure want to be from now on "locked" in politically involved jobs. I'm wondering if HR in some "just business" corp would not see such point in CV as a red flag, and if so if that would be majority, minority, 50/50?
I followed a similar trajectory, leaving the tech sector to pursue politically-motivated jobs. Am I locked-in? Probably, my linkedin is full of agitprop. Do I care? No, the world is on fire, there's no coming back. I get to the end of the month, I'm doing important stuff, fuck careers, there are more important things.
The person I know that got fired is even more gung-ho than me so I can imagine they don't care either.

We are taught as Muslims, that we must do whatever we can when we see an evil.
It is funny (sad, not haha) that christians and jews claim to be taught the same thing.
