Google to Pay Over $1 Million to Female Employee Who Sued for ‘Sexual Discrimination’
Google lost a lawsuit and will now have to pay $1 million to a female Google Cloud executive who sued the company for “sexual discrimination.”
The employee, Google Cloud executive Ulku Rowe, alleged she was paid less than less-experienced male counterparts in similar positions.
An eight-person jury found Google guilty after five hours of deliberation.
According to a report from Bloomberg News, the jurors said Google owes Rowe $150,000 for pain and suffering and $1 million in punitive damages.
“Rowe’s suit is the first pay discrimination case filed against Google after the mass walkouts in 2018 during which hundreds of Google workers protested how the tech company has handled sexual misconduct by some of its top executives,” the report explains.
