DeepMind allegedly took 10 months to resolve a complaint.
, the former employee says she was sexually harassed by a senior researcher for months while working at the London-based company. During this time, she was allegedly subject to numerous sexual propositions and inappropriate messages, including some that described past sexual violence against women and threats of self-harm.
Besides believing her case was “intentionally dragged out,” Julia also takes issue with DeepMind’s nondisclosure policy, which barred her from talking about her complaint to other employees or managers. She claims two separate HR managers told her she would face “disciplinary action” if she spoke out about it.
, Julia and others offered several suggestions as to how Alphabet can improve its response to complaints and reported issues, such as doing away with the NDA policy for victims and setting a strict two-month time limit for HR to resolve grievances., noting: “The NDAs we sign should never be used to silence victims of harassment or workplace abuse. Alphabet should have a global policy against this.
