Google and Youtube sound like horrible places to work. I feel sorry for those subjected to unwanted interaction in the work place. And to see that its been going on for so long is frightening. Boycott Google. Its time to use Bing and other search engines. Sorry but I can boycott Youtube yet

The $90 million pay out to Andy Rubin amid sexual harassment allegations is a reward, not a punishment!
Disgusting.

To all you Donald Trump haters: Trump is the father of the MeToo movement. MeToo probably would not even exist if not for Donald Trump. You should thank him for his contribution.

@MAGA Trump is the father of the MeToo movement the same way Hitler was the father of the Allied Powers.

@MAGA, Your post is the perfect example of the problem with most Trump supporters.

@Bing: Microsoft is an even worse place to work at, based on personal experience; the difference is that folks there know there's no point in complaining, it won't get fixed.

I am glad that people are starting to speak up about harassment in the work place, and I certainly do hope it spreads to other companies!

Let me know when you figure out how to fix the human race.
This has been going on for millennia.

I am proud of each and every one of these Googlers who are flexing their not-inconsiderable muscle to help move their employer -- and by extension every other tech company in the Valley -- to be more proactive in protecting employees and punishing harassers. As they become activated, I hope these influential(mostly young) tech workers also continue to engage in political activism against the totalitarian surveillance state they're helping to build for the military industrial complex.

Googlers united worldwide can be an extremely powerful force for positive change.

It's heartening to see this protest.

When I was working at Intuit, there was a manager from another division who would sneak up behind me while I was sitting at my desk. Then he'd put his hand on my shoulder or my arm. I told him to stop touching me. I even sent him a very short email telling him to stop. Finally I told him I was going to talk to HR, at which point he complained to my manager that I was making a big deal about nothing. My manager actually took his side and told me that I had to "put up with it" because it wasn't serious and his division was an internal customer of our division. It was degrading and I was thoroughly disgusted, so I resigned and moved on to a different tech company.

Abuse of power used to be seen as normal and something to "put up with". I'm glad to see that the younger generations are kinder to each other.

You all should try living next to some of these male Googlers who can't help but talk about all the great things they do while staring at your chest whenever their power wives are out of range. They make awful neighbors. And it really gets boring to hear them talk about themselves so much.

These protests will severely lower Google stock, bringing poverty to Google employees and Google investors. Discussing these issues and resolving them with Management is a good way to handle this.

of course none of them quit their jobs. They still work for the same company that they consider evil. How principled. NOT

I was there, and saw at least 500 people walk past me to get to the protest. That doesn't count people who worked in the main building or came from another direction, or even the people who walked in behind me.

"Hundreds" is an awkward word to use in your headline when it had to be at least 1500 people who participated.

To quote a Director I used to work with: "sure this project will cost 'tens of dollars'. I guess I'm paid in 'tens of dollars', just a lot of them."
