The walkouts were arranged in response to a New York Times investigative report on sexual harassment at Google. According to the Times report, Android creator Andy Rubin was accused by a worker of coercing her to perform oral sex on him in a hotel room in 2013. Google reportedly found the allegation to be credible. According to the Times, the company then asked for Rubin's resignation, gave him an exit package of $90 million and didn't mention the misconduct in his departure announcement.

In response to the Times article, Rubin tweeted, "These false allegations are part of a smear campaign." He also said, "the story contains numerous inaccuracies about my employment at Google and wild exaggerations about my compensation."
