Google walkout organizers hold a sit-in to protest alleged retaliation.
Hundreds of Google employees participated in a sit-in on Wednesday to support organizers of the global Google walkout last November who say the company has retaliated against them.
"Hundreds of people showed up to the @google NYC anti-retaliation sit-in, planned in under 24hrs. So many brave people shared their stories. There were tears and talk of unions," Meredith Whittaker, one of the organizers of the original walkout and today’s sit-in, tweeted. The Google NYC anti-retaliation sit-in was POWERFUL. We're hearing similar reports from Cambridge, London, & Pittsburgh. More to come as we move across time zones and more employees act to say retaliation is #NotOkGoogle. https://t.co/uzNXjArddc
"The Google NYC anti-retaliation sit-in was POWERFUL. We're hearing similar reports from Cambridge, London, & Pittsburgh. More to come as we move across time zones and more employees act to say retaliation is #NotOkGoogle," the organizers’ account, Google Walkout For Real Change, tweeted. Whittaker, the founder and lead of Google’s Open Research group, claims she was told that her role would be “changed dramatically,” and to “abandon” her work on artificial intelligence ethics and her role at AI Now Institute, a research center at New York University, which she co-founded, because she organized the walkout, according to Wired.
On Wednesday, the Google Walkout For Real Change twitter account shared stories from employees of alleged retaliation, including one from a worker who said she gave her manager an average review after he clearly played favorites.
