Google employees say that they have been targeted by the company after organizing internal protests against Google’s handling of sexual harassment claims.
The widening dispute centers around Google employees Claire Stapleton and Meredith Whittaker who played lead roles in a massive walkout last fall that was designed to protest Google’s actions after top managers were accused of sexual harassment, The New York Times reported.
Stapleton, a marketing manager at YouTube, said in a letter shared with employees that Google tried to demote her. She said that after she hired a lawyer to fight back, Google “walked back my demotion, at least on paper,” but “the environment remains hostile and I consider quitting nearly every day.”
