Google's CEO Sundar Pichai emphasized the importance of maintaining focus on work rather than engaging in political debates or disruptive issues within the workplace. This message comes shortly after the company fired 28 employees involved in protests against Google's contract with Israel. Pichai's statement, embedded in a larger restructuring announcement, reinforces the company's stance on keeping political discussions out of the office environment. The memo follows a prior directive from Google's VP of security warning employees against violating company policies with sit-in protests.
