While Google has defended the language of diversity and inclusion, substantial actions to address systemic racism, increase equity and stop sexual harassment have been few and far between. ENOUGH. Ensure that public relations does not reduce it: we need transparency, responsibility and structural change.

Rubin was one of three executives that Google "protected over the past decade after they were accused of sexual misconduct," says The New York Times' story, in part. Two of the executives, including Rubin, received a payment of millions of dollars when they left the company, while a third executive remained employed in a "highly compensated position," according to the article.



In each case, the company "kept silence about the accusations against the men," the newspaper reported.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Page, who co-founded Google and is now the CEO of its parent company, Alphabet, apologized during the past week, since the bomb report.

"

These false accusations are part of a smear campaign to despise me during a divorce and custody battle. In addition, I am deeply concerned that anonymous Google executives comment on my staff's file and misrepresent the facts.

Pichai told employees in an email on Tuesday that the company fired 48 people for sexual harassment in the past two years, and none of them received an exit package.



"I deeply regret the past actions and the pain they have caused to employees," Pichai wrote in the email obtained by ABC News. "Larry mentioned this on stage last week, but it's worth repeating: if even a person experiences Google the way the New York Times article describes it, we're not the company we aspire to be."

Many employees remained enraged and encouraged their co-workers from around the world to collectively go out in protest on Thursday.



"As Google workers, we were disgusted with the details of the recent New York Times article, which provided the latest example of a culture of complicity, contempt and support for perpetrators in the face of sexual harassment, misconduct and abuse of power," The organizers of the employees said in a press release sent to ABC News.



"As the recent article and the executive response make clear, these problems reach the top, although Google has promoted the language of diversity and inclusion, substantive actions to address systemic racism, increase equity and stop harassment. have been few and far enough, ENOUGH, reassuring public relations will not eliminate it: we need transparency, responsibility and structural change. "



"For every story in the New York Times, there are thousands more, at all levels of the company, many have not been counted," the organizers added. "We are part of a growing movement and we are no longer going to support this."
