Silicon Valley Tech Workers Quietly Protest Their Bosses' Embrace of Trump
Briefly

In response to CEO Mark Zuckerberg's removal of sanitary products from men's bathrooms, which were meant for transgender and nonbinary staff, Meta employees initiated a quiet protest. They brought their own tampons and pads to highlight their opposition to the company's shift toward conservative policies, which included scrapping diversity initiatives. This rebellion reflects a broader trend among tech workers who are challenged by their leaders' support of Trump and his administration's agenda, a stark contrast to the historically liberal leanings of Silicon Valley.
A group of employees circulated a petition to save the tampons, emblematic of the quiet rebellions staged as they grapple with the rightward shift of their bosses.
Instead of loud public protests, many tech employees have executed subtle acts of defiance against the recent political alignments of their bosses.
