A senior Google employee who claimed she was made redundant after reporting a manager for sharing inappropriate stories about his swinger lifestyle has lost her case against the tech giant.
Victoria Woodall told a London employment tribunal that she was subjected to a campaign of retaliation after whistleblowing on the man who was later sacked for gross misconduct, which the company found amounted to sexual harassment.
Judge Barry Smith dismissed her claims of victimisation, disability discrimination and whistleblowing detriment. He said it was relevant that about 26 people in Google's UK Sales and Agencies team had also been made redundant alongside Woodall in a restructuring process.
Google UK, which previously denied the allegations, has been approached for comment.
London Central Employment Tribunal found that Woodall's alleged mistreatment was "not in any way because of, or materially influenced by," her disclosures.
