Last week, workers held sit-in
protests at Google's offices in both
New York and Sunnyvale, California.
The protests were organized by the group
No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers
were fired following the initial sit-in. .
According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for
No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired
"over 20" more workers, “including non-participating
bystanders during last week’s protests.”.
Google’s aims are clear:
the corporation is attempting
to quash dissent, silence
its workers, and reassert
its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.
In its attempts to do so,
Google has decided to
unceremoniously, and
without due process,
upend the livelihoods of
over 50 of its own workers, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

was terminated was personally and definitively
involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.”

6 Tips, for First-Time Investors.
1. Do not put all your
money into one company.
Just because Tesla leads the electric car market
right now, it does not mean it will be this way forever.
2. Avoid paying too much attention
to pundits on television.
Wells Fargo Adviser Scott Pedvis says a big
mistake is taking what others say "as gospel.".
3. Start as early as you can.
The earlier you begin, the more
time investments have to develop.
4. Enroll in a 401k plan
at your job, if possible.
A 401k is an excellent way to store money for when you eventually retire.
5. Do not be afraid
to ask for help.
A lot of investing can be done independently,
but not everything in your life can be do-it-yourself, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'.
6. Put money into your investments on
a predetermined date each month.
It forces you to save,
and takes the emotion
out of investing, Scott Pedvis, via 'USA Today'
