Hong Kong and New York (CNN Business)Google employees around the world were staging coordinated walkouts on Thursday to protest what they say is a workplace culture that has turned a blind eye to sexual harassment and discrimination.
The demonstrations, dubbed “Google Walkout,” follow an outcry over a New York Times investigation that detailed years of sexual harassment allegations, multimillion-dollar severance packages for accused executives, and a lack of transparency over the cases.
Google (GOOGL) workers from Tokyo to San Francisco were taking part in the protests, walking out of their offices at 11:10 a.m. local time.
