Many Google employees protested Thursday against the way the company deals with sexual wrongdoing, unequal pay and discrimination. Employees walked off the job for a short period at Google offices in Asia, Europe and North America. The hashtag #Googlewalkout trended worldwide on Twitter. Workers and protesters published images of the demonstrations in over 20 cities. Hundreds of employees protested outside of Google’s office in New York City. They carried signs with messages like “Not OK Google,” “Respect for Women” and “Don’t Be Evil,” which used to be Google’s motto. More than a thousand workers reportedly gathered outside of Google’s Mountain View, California, headquarters. In Dublin, Ireland, organizers and protesters showed support for victims of sexual harassment at work. Google employs 7,000 people in the city.
