What did Vaniya agrawal say? Read the whole letter here …
Hey everyone,
My name is Vaniya and after 1.5 years as a software engineer in this company I decided to leave Microsoft. My last day is next Friday 11th April.
You may have seen me today to stand up today to call Satya during his speech at the 50th anniversary of Microsoft.
That’s why I decided to leave society and why I spoke today.
We are witnessing genocide
A year and a half ago I joined Microsoft, just as I witnessed the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel, which began in 1948. I saw the unspeakable suffering in the middle icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj and icj. Organization of Rights. And when I write this, Israel broke the ceasefire and restored his full genocide in Gaza. A few days ago, it turned out that Israel had killed fifteen rescuers and rescuers in Gaza and succeeded “one by one” than buried them in Písek – another terrible war crime. Meanwhile, our work drives this genocide and I cannot be part of a society that participates in this violent injustice.
Like most of them, I joined Microsoft and believed in my mission “to seize every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more”. I believed in his “commitment to respect and support human rights”. I believed that Microsoft was devoted to philanthropy and support for fundamental rights around the world.
But in the last 1.5 years, I have more aware of the growing role of Microsoft in the military industrial complex. Recent AP reports have revealed a critical role of Microsoft in allowing the Israeli apartheid regime and the Guza Geno Genocide to be. The article describes in detail the “contract with Microsoft and Israel by the Ministry of Defense of $ 133 million”, emphasizing how Microsoft Azure and AI support the mass supervision of the occupation and contribute to indiscriminate targeting and bombing the whole of the indigenous people. Leaked documents also reveal how Microsoft AI drives the most sensitive and most classified projects for the Israeli army, including its “target bank” and the Palestinian population.
Microsoft Cloud and AI allow the Israeli army to be more fatal and destructive in Gaza. It is undeniable that the Azure cloud offers and the development of Microsoft AI form the technological backbone of automated apartheid systems and the genocide of Israel. Microsoft is so deeply linked to the Israeli army that it was one of the priority boycott of the BDS campaign (BDS, Dijtsto, Sanctions) yesterday.
All this raises the question of which “people” do we seize our technology? Oppressors enforcing the apartheid mode? War criminals committed genocide? Unfortunately, at this point, it is irrefutable that Microsoft is a participation – they are a manufacturer of digital weapons that drives supervision, apartheid and genocide. And we are all involved in this company. Although we do not work directly in AI or Azure, our work is quiet support and our company climb only supports the system. That is why I have signed this important petition just before I passed my resignation to require Microsoft to reduce the custody with genocide. And I challenge you all to do the same.
Over time, it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to give your time, energy and care of society on the wrong side of history. Leaving my work in Microsoft has become an obvious choice for me and I do not see any alternative, but I have been using the last few days in Microsoft to speak, but I can, whether by disruption of Satya speech or send this e -mail today. Microsoft management must sell from Israel and stop selling deadly technology to drive apartheid and genocide.
I know that leaving Microsoft is not for many options. If you have to continue working in Microsoft, I invite you to use your position, strength and privilege to answer Microsoft for your own values and mission:
Sign without Azure for the Apartheid petition: We will not write a code that kills. And join the campaign and add your voice to the growing number of Microsoft employees concerned.
Join me and show our dissatisfaction in this thread. If you also feel cheated on the deployment of weapons that focus on children and civilians, it urges lead (cc’ed) to reduce these contracts.
Don’t stop talking. Offer SLTs to impose these contracts on each occasion.
Start conversations with your collaborators about the above-mentioned points of employees may not know!
If any part of this message resonates with you, pass on this e -mail to someone who might benefit from reading it.
