“After Project Nimbus, I don’t see a future at this company”

— Anonymous Arab Google Worker

Anonymous Arab Googler : 

I feel Google focuses heavily on diversity and inclusion, but then neglects the voice of Palestinians. I'm not Palestinian, but I care about making sure we do the right thing as often as we can. Learning about the Project Nimbus deal and seeing with my own eyes how leaders in the company completely neglected Palestinians while standing in solidarity with Israelis in the region made me sad and really disappointed in this company. This has made me question whether I want to stay at Google, and to be honest, I don't see a future in this company because of how disappointed this has made me feel. I'd like to think I'm someone who stands up for what I believe in and stands against injustice. Google even claims they want me to bring my whole self to work. But while I'd love to send this message without being anonymous, unfortunately Google has made it clear that there would be serious ramifications of speaking about this on the record. I know from what I have seen at Google that speaking freely with my name would have a significantly detrimental impact on my career, my life, and my family by leading me to be unfairly and incorrectly retaliated against and even accused of antisemitism, simply for defending Palestinian rights.
