Microsoft Fires Radical Anti-Israel Employees Who Stormed President's Office
2025-08-29
[Free Beacon] Microsoft fired four radical anti-Israel employees following a series of disruptions on the company’s campus, including when a group stormed and occupied the office of its president, Brad Smith.

Seven agitators, including the two Microsoft employees, Anna Hattle and Riki Fameli, and a former Google employee, broke into Smith's Redmond, Washington, office on Tuesday, then locked and barricaded the door with chairs and tables. They livestreamed their demand that he appear in "the people's court" for his "crimes against humanity," including "complicity in genocide" and assisting in "kidnap and torture." The agitators said his "failure to appear will result in increased escalations against yourself and all Microsoft executives."
Sounds like Black Bloc tactics in Red/Green alliance to me…
Police stormed in shortly thereafter, clashed with the agitators, and arrested the group, resulting in an abrupt end to the live feed. The two Microsoft employees were fired the next day, a company spokeswoman told the Washington Free Beacon.

Remember when Great Companies were those that sold great products and support?

Now, too many are woke and going broke instead.
