#1
The names please.
So when their resume crosses someone's desk, it can be $hit-canned immediately.

Let them stand by their little social media whine for attention, and allow them to experience the real employment world ramifications of being an open Racist.

#6 "The pledge, which marks the latest backlash against Google and Amazon, was organized by No Tech for Apartheid (NOTA), a coalition of tech workers and activists from Muslim grassroots movement MPower Change and advocacy group Jewish Voice for Peace."
I gather that NOTA is the source of the claim. I'd guess the number claimed is real--if they were making it up I don't think they'd choose such a piddling little number.

#7 I bet 100% of them are STEM student stat padded DEI recruits.

So they think they have juice because companies are "requested" to have certain DEI scores, but why would colossi like GG and AM hire one of them who will be poo poo'd through graduation no matter their grade, when they could hire some kid from India who makes fits that bill, has three languages, and a work ethic?

#9 I'd guess the number claimed is real--if they were making it up I don't think they'd choose such a piddling little number.

An average of about 9 students per university. Not exactly a stampede. I wonder how that number compares to students who would jump at a chance to work at either company.
