Rather than trying to change company policies about harassment, why aren't they trying to change the law?

A company shouldn't be the one to decide if harassment is or is not okay.

The way to change the law is by starting the movement in the company. I'm sure people will talk about not allowing forced arbitration by the law after this movement.

As much as I hate Google, this is pretty cool. They even have donuts for everyone.

Will they get paid for the time they are walking out?

They are salary - I'm 100% confident they will.

No. In Google you're supposed to try to go for promotion, and nobody cares about the walkout in the promotion commitees, so at the end you have to work extra.

If you don't want promotion though, life's easy @ Google.
