Two women who helped organise a massive global walkout from Google offices last year over the firm’s handling of reported sexual misconduct allege they’re now being punished for their activism, according to a new report. 

Thousands of Googlers around the world walked out of their offices in November for rallies protesting the way the company addressed incidents of sexual harassment and misconduct, including a US$90mil (RM371.49mil) golden parachute for Android operating system creator Andy Rubin, who has denied allegations that he forced sex on an employee.
