Microsoft fires engineers who protested during company’s 50th anniversary celebration

Another Microsoft software engineer, Vaniya Agrawal, had said she would resign from the company on Friday, April 11. But instead of her chosen resignation date, Microsoft terminated her role on Monday, according to an internal message viewed by CNBC. The company wrote that it “has decided to make your resignation immediately effective today.”

This, ladies and gentlemen and enbys, is why employers aren’t inherently owed a two week notice.

Microsoft also wrote that Abousssad could have raised concerns “confidentially with your manager, or with Global Employee Relations. Instead, you chose to intentionally disrupt the speech of Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman.”

Gee, why didn’t they do the option that would have fuck-all impact?
