A Google recruiter posted on LinkedIn on Monday asking Amazon employees involved in activism at their company to apply to work at Google. This was an odd decision considering Google is in the midst of its own crackdown on labor activism, and that Google also works with oil companies in a manner similar to Amazon.

“Hey Amazonions! I recognize your courage and bravery to speak out about climate change. I believe your passion can truly change the world,” Jason Lin, a UX recruiter at Google wrote. “Check out some of the ways Google is actively working to battle climate change below! I'd love to connect with you and talk about how you could take advantage of our 20% time!”
