This is accurate. HR doesn't want protesters on staff, and HR often googles candidates, checks social media, etc.

They may find sympathy at some businesses, but the larger the company, likely the less of that.

What HR wants and doesn’t want.

Got a chuckle out of me.

Look, if you are in the most elite institutions, then you should stand up for something. If they can’t fucking do it, what hope do other people have? So the starving Gaza kid can’t do shit, the Columbia student can’t, and the Google engineer can’t.

And this goes for people on both sides of the issue.

Tricky business.
