All I hope for is Google to settle this amicably with the discontented employees and at same time not upset their clients.
Because, actions in both extreme would set a bad precedent for a tech giant like Google:
Extreme 1 - Fire the employees or serve them notice to shut up.
Extreme 2 - End contracts / don't sell further to big oil companies. In process, lose out vast sums of money and forever shut yourself out from the industry even if they discovered something called 'clean, sustainable oil' in future.
