Google employees around the world staged walkouts yesterday to protest against the company’s handling of cases of alleged sexual misconduct.
Employees and contractors at offices from Dublin to Singapore said they were unhappy with a “workplace that doesn’t work for everyone” and attacked the company for not being more transparent both over sexual misconduct cases and pay inequality.
Google has become the latest Silicon Valley company to come under fire for its handling of sexual harassment claims after it emerged that two male executives had left the company with substantial pay packages despite the fact that complaints against them were found to be credible.
