Per the NYT story, Rubin had multiple relationships with Google employees and "coerced" oral sex from an employee in 2013 — a claim that the company investigated and found credible. In a statement, Rubin denied the allegations, claiming the NYT story contained "numerous inaccuracies" and he states he "never coerced a woman to have sex in a hotel room." 。

According to a BBC report, staff participating in the walkout will be leaving a note on their desks to inform colleagues that they are protesting. "I’m not at my desk because I’m walking out with other Googlers and contractors to protest sexual harassment, misconduct, lack of transparency, and a workplace culture that’s not working for everyone," reads the note. 。
