微软因办公室静坐抗议解雇两名员工
摘要
微软解雇了两名参与在公司总裁布拉德·史密斯办公室静坐抗议的员工，抗议者要求公司切断与以色列的关系。
微软已解雇两名员工安娜·哈特尔和里基·法梅利，原因是他们参与了在公司总裁布拉德·史密斯办公室的静坐抗议。此次抗议由“无Azure支持种族隔离”组织发起，旨在施压微软终止与以色列的商业关系。
抗议活动发生在微软位于华盛顿雷德蒙德的总部，七名包括哈特尔和法梅利在内的人员占据了史密斯的办公室。该组织通过直播的方式进行了抗议，要求公司切断与以色列政府的联系。
微软发言人表示，解雇决定是基于“严重违反公司政策和行为准则”。公司强调，此类行为与员工应遵守的期望不符。
此次事件发生在“无Azure支持种族隔离”组织一系列抗议活动之后，该组织由微软现任及前任员工组成，呼吁公司终止与以色列的合同。此前的抗议包括在公司活动中制造干扰以及在校园内建立“解放区”营地。
针对有指控称微软的Azure云平台被以色列军方用于监控巴勒斯坦人，公司已通过律师事务所Covington & Burling LLP启动内部审查。微软总裁布拉德·史密斯重申公司致力于维护人权原则及合同服务条款。
