Google staff lead protests worldwide
Yesterday, Google staff walked out of many of the corporation’s offices, including Singapore, Tokyo, Berlin, Zurich and a range of US offices, to protest the internet company’s handling of a string of sexual abuse cases. The latest of these, saw the revelation that former staff member Andy Rubin, creator of the Android operating system, received a payoff worth 90 million dollars when he left in 2014, despite there being “credible” evidence from a Google internal investigation that he forced a colleague to engage in oral sex with him in a hotel, the previous year. This comes as the company has been forced to admit that 48 staff were let go without compensation for inappropriate sexual behaviour n the last two years alone.
