Google Cloud Office: A strange incident has happened in the world's leading IT company Google. Google employees not only staged a massive demonstration but also occupied the office for about 8 hours. These employees were making strange demands from the management. What they wanted was not salary, increment, promotion, working environment, facilities and holidays. They wanted Google to stop working with the Israeli government. This will probably be the first major demonstration by the employees of a company regarding political demands. However, later these employees were also arrested.
