Google engineers and other company workers around the world have walked
out to protest the internet company's lenient treatment of executives
accused of sexual misconduct.
Protesters in New York carried signs with such messages as "Not OK Google" and the company's one-time motto, "Don't Be Evil."
The Google protest unfolded a week after a New York Times story detailed allegations of sexual misconduct about the creator of Google's Android software, Andy Rubin.
The report said Rubin received a 90 million US dollar severance package in 2014 after Google concluded the sexual misconduct allegations against him were credible.
The protests are the latest backlash against men's exploitation of female subordinates in business, entertainment, technology and politics
Thousands of Google employees joined a coordinated worldwide walkout
Thursday Nov 01,2018 to protest the US tech giant's handling of sexual harassment as
the chief vowed "concrete steps are coming" in response to the concern.
Google employees poured out of buildings at the company's Silicon Valley "Googleplex," filling courtyards and patios in solidarity with workers around the world who held similar protests over the company's handling of sexual misconduct.
Demonstrators streamed across the Mountain View campus, some waving signs bearing messages such as "Time's Up Tech" and "Happy to quit for $90 million -- no sexual harassment required."
The turnout in California was the final stage of a global walkout that began in Asia and spread to Google offices in Europe.
