Google says it has updated the way it investigates misconduct claims, changes it pledged to make after thousands of employees walked out in protest last November. The company says the changes make it simpler for employees to file complaints about sexual misconduct or other harassment. The move follows claims by two walkout organizers that they faced Google retaliation for helping to put together the protest. (AP Photo/Noah Berger, File)

Hundreds of Google staffers met on April 26 and discussed what activists allege is a frequent consequence of criticising the company: Retaliation. 

Two leaders of recent company protests said they’ve been mistreated by managers and collected similar stories from other workers at the world’s largest Internet company.
