Google Whistleblower Alleges Retaliation After Reporting Boss's 'Swinger Talk' and Nudes

  • Victoria Woodall, a senior Google employee, claims she faced retaliation after reporting a manager for sexually inappropriate comments and sharing a nude image of his wife.
  • The manager, who allegedly boasted about his swinger lifestyle to clients and colleagues, was later dismissed for gross misconduct after an internal investigation.
  • Woodall alleges a "relentless campaign of retaliation" including being pressured into failing accounts, removed from senior roles, and downgraded in performance.
  • She also claims a "boys' club" culture existed, citing a men-only "chairman's lunch" funded by Google, which the company denies.
  • Google denies retaliation, stating Woodall became "paranoid" and her redundancy was part of a wider restructuring that eliminated 26 roles.
