Google Employees Stage Protest Over Handling of Sexual Harassment (nytimes.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The New York Times: Employees at Google offices around the world held a wave of walkouts on Thursday to protest the company's handling of sexual harassment. The walkouts, which started in Asia and spread across continents, were planned for around 11 a.m. in their time zones. Protests were held through the day in Google offices in the United States. The backlash was prompted by an article in The New York Times last week that revealed that Google had paid millions of dollars in exit packages to male executives accused of harassment, while staying silent about the transgressions. As late morning arrived in different time zones on Thursday, Google employees walked away from their work at offices including Singapore; Hyderabad, India; Berlin; Zurich; Dublin; London; New York; and its headquarters in Mountain View, California.
Employees posted photos on social media, but it was unclear how long the protests lasted as many of those who stopped working stayed inside the buildings. The employees who organized the walkout have called on Google to end its use of private arbitration in cases of alleged sexual assault and harassment. They have also demanded the publication of a transparency report on instances of sexual harassment, further disclosures of salaries and compensation, an employee representative on the company board and a chief diversity officer who could speak directly to the board.

But they put nice colors on the walls and give meeting rooms cute names.
Complain to HR that you are being made to feel bullied by not participating in their walkout and you no longer feel safe at work.
yeah, plus walkouts are a great opportunity for some grab-ass since their not on the premises and not working
Posting to "social media" such as G+ would be a bad idea and probably career limiting.
Why would it be a problem if they posted to G+? It's not as if anyone would see it ...
We all need a bogeything to rally against
Especially the SJWs.
You can't be bullied by a SJW. If a SJW bullies you, then you, by definition, deserve it. So it's not bullying. You're just bullying them more than you already do, by making them bully you.
Tldr;
