The 2018 Google walkouts occurred on November 1, 2018 at approximately 11 am.[1] The walkout had a large number of participants.[1][2][3] The employees demanded five concrete changes from the company: an end to forced arbitration; a commitment to end pay inequality; a transparent sexual harassment report; an inclusive process for reporting sexual misconduct; and elevate the Chief of Diversity to answer directly to the CEO and create an Employee Representative.[4] A majority of the known organizers have left the company since the walkout and many continue to voice their concerns.[2] Google agreed to end forced arbitration and create a private report of sexual assault, but has not provided any further details about the other demands.[1][3]
