Google 'personifies' the culture shift happening across corporate America: The Verge's Alex Heath

Alex Heath, The Verge deputy editor, and Joanne Lipman, Yale University lecturer, join 'Squawk Box' to discuss the fallout from Google's firing of 50 employees after protests at company offices over a cloud computing deal with Israel, the broader shift in work culture across Big Tech and corporate America, FTC's ban on noncompete clauses, and more.

    I think you represent (like I do) the vast majority of Americans. Work is for work, not politics. Our attitude represents traditional wisdom that stood for centuries until the last 20 years or so.. now business leaders are discovering WHY it was wisdom.. politics from businesses makes for poor business.

    That's it exactly! The recruiting process is still a mess at these big tech companies. They keep highering the same type of employees and with the DEI process that they say they are enacting now nothing will change. I should be considered a DEI candidate because I am not liberal but that’s not how DEI works. It’s largely an echo chamber of the same philosophy because the managers are all that way.

    I am sure part of the reason that Google is finding it easier to fire staff is that they realized most of these jobs were created for DEI purposes and don't actually contribute to the productivity or profitability of the company. Also, advances in AI and other systems are probably making some jobs there obsolete.
