One of the Google employees behind last years mass walkout protesting the tech giants poor handling of sexual misconduct allegations left the company this week after she said company leaders retaliated against her.

Organizers of the walkout a 2018 protest sparked by outrage after the company allegedly paid off top executives accused of harassment announced Claire Stapletons resignation on Friday, posting the note that she wrote to her colleagues to mark her last day.

In it, Stapleton who has said that managers essentially forced her out of the company by demoting her and asking her to take medical leave wrote about her anger regarding the discrepancy she saw between the companys stated values and its lack of accountability in addressing sexual harassment allegations and other internal issues at the company.

Googles lore, its leadership, its promise the whole thing lit me up, filled me with a sense of purpose, of inspiration, of privilege to be here, Stapleton wrote. Refusing to acknowledge our humanity and engage with the deeper issues being raised well, thats not very Googley.

Thousands of Google employees worldwide participated in the walkout last November , demanding the end of the companys policy of forcing employees into arbitration, which the company did end earlier this year.

They also called for pay equity and a more transparent process of addressing employees claims of sexual misconduct.

In April, Stapleton and another walkout organizer, Meredith Whittaker, claimed that they had faced retaliation from company officials for organizing the walkout. Google denied their claims, saying it was common to demote or reassign employees based on performance or business priorities.

Last month, the walkout organizers called for an investigation into Googles human resources department.

Googles HR department is broken, they wrote. Over and over again, it prioritizes the company and the reputation of abusers and harassers over their victims. The collateral damage is all around us.
