Walkouts at dozens of Google offices around the world began this morning in Tokyo and will continue around the globe at 11:10 am in each specific time zone. So far staffers at offices in Singapore, Zurich, London, and Dublin have followed suit.

The thousands of staffers involved planned the day’s walkout as a protest of the way sexual harassment allegations have been handled within the company. The protest comes following a New York Times story that detailed how Andy Rubin, the creator of Android, was quietly forced out of the company with a $90 million parachute after allegations of sexual misconduct were levied against him. A second executive named in the story, Richard DeVaul, the director of Google X, the company's ambitious research group, also resigned this week when it was reported he has sexually harassed a job applicant.
