Sergeant, my rifle doesn't work! Have you tried turning it off and back on?
How many of these cowards are not US Citizens but here on Work Visas? REVOKE THEM ALL!
Lay them off
You copied the headline RT (Russia Today) put out earlier. Specifically, the letter does NOT say kill people it says ' help people kill' the US military targets only enemy combatants, the Russians twisted the headline to fit their narrative that we look to target innocent people
Microsoft has a few idiot employees protesting a technology that could distinguish friend from foe and prevent needless casualties, military and civilian. I am betting most of them are foreign workers on visas.
50 employees is a drop in the ocean. Microsoft employ over one hundred thousand people worldwide. I presume the other 99950 people are all ok with it.
The workers should resign immediately if they feel so strongly.
How in the heck did Jim Jones infiltrate Microsoft?!
Hey Microsoft if you want to fire all those employees I know plenty of people who will be happy to take their place.
If there were a world war again, we’d be toast. We’ve let our country be infiltrated by people that will never be loyal to America... by people that hate America and most importantly be people the teach our kids to hate themselves and their country... This is the end product .
They should really be protesting that it’s a waste of tax dollars at this stage. Someone is getting a big bonus for this supposed innovation.
How did Microsofties become so naive and idealistic? There is no wrong with being patriotic and to support our soldiers in the field. Lets drop those 50 employees to the field and see if they wish they have something to save their life. Get off your high horse.
I’m a victim - this technology was using Fortnite to harass me. One of the Microsoft employees also installed informatics software from Nanotechnology companies without my permission I can tell you time and date and store, and give computer file records.
I hope they all get fired
So 134,950 didn’t call for the contract to be cancelled?
Finally, people power!
Because helping to defend your country is an outrageous proposition...
Fire them all. They are treasonous cancers.
Pentagon employee: (stares blankly at Excel sheet) Now it's a problem!
Give the deal to another company-problem solved!
If there is another Major War,will Microsoft employees be on tha Front Line!!!
50 employees with guts and a moral compass
Heaven forbid that a military uses weapons.
Laughable/scary Youtube video in article shows more normalization by military industrial complex of military illegally performing domestic law enforcement work while ignoring biggest domestic terror threat - white American males, not Asian women.
Just quit and let the grown-ups do what needs to be done.
Not entirely comfortable with workers at top US firms habitually opposing weapons development with the technology most relevant to future wars. I would assume that's something we can agree that we all want the best of. It's definitely a more effective use of $$ than the F-35.
Who made the deal with micro soft and the army to make weapons...
How many workers? Two? This reeks of fake news, brought to us by NPR at taxpayers’ expense.
Poor journalism. Where is scale? Are we talking an employee wave of thousands or a couple dozen? You’re better than this, MPR.
Microsoft also said it donated money to Monsanto to solve world hunger. Nope, they bought stock. Monsanto is pure evil. They also say windows is “made in the US” it’s packaged in Puerto Rico to avoid paying taxes and decent wages.
They demand a say in how their work is used. Here’s a choice, dont work for Microsoft. Quit. The company is there to make money, not cater to its employees demands on what they make and for whom they make it. Make your stand by quitting, not acting like a spoiled kid.
Collective conscious, an organic solidarity.
The U.S. Army are the good guys that protect your freedom, liberty and business. We must support them, unless you want Putin to control you or want the repression in China. It is a dangerous world and we must support our brave citizens in the military.
It’s a biz like anything else. Gates is involved in vaccines and all sorts of stuff.
But Windows is such a terrible, unappealing mess now they need something to increase revenue.
Do Microsoft workers pay taxes? You are already enabling the war machine - DA
what do investers think? since it's their money that goes into R&D and their loss if the military contract is a bust. seems to be too many chiefs not enough indians at microsoft these days
In this sense, isn’t the killing you referenced, ultimately protecting your fellow citizens
Thought I read in another story that 50 workers signed this letter, out of a company of 135,000 employees. This article just says “workers” with no number. Feels like relevant information to me.
They can work for someone else then. Microsoft should tell them to ship in or get out!
Hmmmmm question this story, please.
They are right if anything I would both scared and intrigued of Apple creating weapons then Microsoft.
Yeah not fun
Microsoft are the best
