Hundreds of Google employees staged walkouts around the world Thursday to protest the company’s response to allegations of sexual misconduct.

Using the hashtag #googlewalkout, images spread across social media of employees of the tech giant walking out at 11:10 local time in response to a report last month by The New York Times which said the company handed Android mobile software creator Andy Rubin a $90 million exit package, but failed to disclose it was because an employee accused him of sexual misconduct.
