  • Around 100 U.S. Google employees have banded together to form a group promoting new policies to fight cyber bullying inside the company.
  • Employee grievances such as false HR complaints and inflammatory conversations within internal chat groups led to the group being formed last fall.
  • The group is hoping Google will tighten conduct rules for internal forums.


About 100 Google U.S. employees concerned about cyber bullying inside the company have organized into a group proposing new policies for conduct at the unit of Alphabet Inc, five people involved in the effort said in recent interviews.

Three current employees and two others helping to organize the group said it formed last fall. They said that among its proposals, which have not previously been reported in detail, are that Google should tighten rules of conduct for internal forums and hire staff to enforce them.
