Gender and Free Speech at Google (B)
By: Nien-hê Hsieh and Sarah Mehta
Abstract
In November 2018, 20,000 Google employees participated in a walkout to protest the company’s decision to grant a $90 million exit package to a former executive accused of sexual misconduct. The case explores organizers’ demands and asks how the company’s senior leaders might respond. This case should accompany the (A) and (C) cases, “Gender and Free Speech at Google” (318-085) and (319-097).
