Google, owned by Alphabet Inc. has fired four employees for violating its policies on data securities. This move by Google has elicited a lot of reactions from the colleagues of the affected staff who thought the sack was unfair.

Google sacked the four employees shortly after a protest where they allegedly collated personal data from colleagues and shared outside the company. This action of data violation is against the rules of the company.

The signing which took place in Egypt at the Africa 2019: Investment in Africa Forum had the President of Afreximbank, Prof. Benedict Oramah, and Chief Executive Officer of ITFC, Hani Sombol in attendance on behalf of the two organisations. How the facility will be deployed: According to the agreement document as reported by Daily Trust, the facility would help finance and de-risk trade flows between the Arab and Africa regions, thereby raising the level of trade, which currently stands at about $500m. Speaking on the deal, Afreximbank said the pact will help in leveraging other Arabian funds in support of Arab investments in Africa. The bank also said the facility was part of the Afreximbank/ITFC Arab-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Programme launched two years ago to deepen the partnership between them. Also present at the signing of the agreement in Egypt was the Egypt Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, and Egypt’s Minister of Investment and International Cooperation, Dr. Sahar Nasr. What you should know: Afreximbank also recently signed an agreement to partner with South Africa-based Railway company, Thelo DB Proprietary Limited as reported by Nairametrics. The agreement which will benefit Nigeria and other African countries is for the purpose of developing, financing and operating railway projects in Africa. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the two organisations on the sidelines of the ongoing Africa Investment Forum. The terms of the MoU, include Afreximbank and Thelo DB partnering to support the modernisation and renovation of Africa’s railways in different countries. By doing so, the organisations aim to promote trade, investment and economic skills development.

Google’s response: In a company-wide internal memo as reported by Forbes, Google gave its response to the sack, stating that, “We’ve seen a recent increase in information being shared outside the company, including the names and details of our employees, our teams are committed to investigating these issues, and today we’ve dismissed four employees for clear and repeated violations of our data security policies.

“The employees were not fired for simply looking at documents or calendars during the ordinary course of their work, To the contrary, our thorough investigation found the individuals were involved in systematic searches for other employees’ materials and work. This includes searching for, accessing, and distributing business information outside the scope of their jobs — repeating this conduct even after they were met with and reminded about our data security policies.”

Reactions of Google’s staff: Colleagues of the affected staff have reacted and given their side of the story. One of them argued that the four workers were fired in an attempt to crush efforts to organise staff.

“Four of our colleagues took a stand and organised for a better workplace, When they did, Google retaliated against them,” said a worker in a medium post.

What you should know: In recent times, there have been several incidents between employees and the management of Google. Employees said they had been hampered in their career within the company after they protested against the manner Google handled sexual harassment charges.

Also, employees are no longer allowed to talk about politics during working hours. According to the company, this would counteract discussions and division in the workplace.
