– An explosive New York Times report has delved into allegations of sexual misconduct at Google.
– Engineer Liz Fong-Jones told the newspaper that Google “covers up harassment,” and tweet stormed more details after the piece was published.
– Fong-Jones said that one of the executives named by the Times was the director she referred to in a #MeToo blog about sexual assault last year.
A Google engineer has savaged the company’s culture of sexual misconduct and harassment following an explosive report in The New York Times.
In a series of tweets, Liz Fong-Jones slammed Google senior managers for their “abuse of power relationships” after Android creator Rubin was accused of resigning with a $90 million exit package after a woman came forward saying he coerced her into oral sex in a hotel room.
“It is not okay to assault people. It is not okay to cheat. It is not okay to sexually harass. What’s salacious about the NYT article is *not* the BDSM or the polyamory,” Fong-Jones tweeted following the publication of the Times report. “It’s the abuse of power relationships in situations where there was no consent, or consent was impossible.”
It built on comments Fong-Jones made to the New York Times as part of its report.
