Google employee claims redundancy after sexual harassment report
Google dismissed a manager for gross misconduct after an internal probe, filings show. The investigation revealed the manager made inappropriate remarks and touched female staff without permission. Victoria Woodall, formerly a senior Google employee, claims she then faced retaliation, including role changes. Woodall states her redundancy followed reporting the manager for sexual harassment, according to tribunal evidence. Google denies this, saying the redundancy was part of a wider restructuring that saw 26 roles cut.
