GUARANTEE you they are giving our secrets to China.

[Williams]

“I wonder what their buddies in China think?”

You can be 100% certain that China is behind this. The employees have been well prepared to betray our country.

[Rastus]

Relax, idiots. It’s just a popcorn maker.

[Mozzafiato]

"The employees represent the latest big tech backlash, coming from within Silicon Valley itself, as workers demand more of a say over how tech products are used and how a range of groups are treated internally."

When did Microsoft move to Silicon Valley?

[NorseViking]

Sorry, I forgot to add sarcasm tag.

[Libloather]

Ctrl, Alt, Delete.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Abort, retry, fail?

You forgot about Blue Screen of Death. Sounds formidable.

[PIF]

That’s OK, many do not know who owns and run the company

[shanover]

What does that big hypocrite and one world hemorrhoid Bill Gates think?

[moovova]

“Abort, Retry, Fail?”

Or, the continuous...

[piytar]

Fire them all.

> I was actually kidding

No worries, I did look for a "sarc" tag first.

However there are plenty of PLA controlled (aka ChiCom H1-B visa workers) at Microsoft anyway.

> When did Microsoft move to Silicon Valley?

Other than IBM, Big Tech has been dominated by Red-Diaper-Doper baby types.

[Agatsu77]

Fire the idiots. They don’t need them anyway.

[Grimmy]

H1B visa holders afraid their own countries might be coming up on the list?

End H1B. Investigate every company that uses H1B for payroll and tax fraud. Prison for the offenders.

[Myrddin]

Identify the employees. Arrange a termination. Reason? Loss of a $450 million contract. Your services are no longer required.

[IronJack]

we demand a say in how our work is used

Refused. If you find yourselves unable to do the work assigned to you, pick up your check and clear out. Otherwise, shut up and get back to work.

[Socon-Econ]

That group of Microsoft employees is actually small; but it knows how to get press, and it no doubt has enough leftist money muscle behind it to cow disagreeing fellow employees into silence.

[TheZMan]

“we demand a say in how our work is used”

Hah, wow, OK. Good luck with that.

[rlmorel]

Your post, in a summary, says it all.
