Alphabet Admits To Sexual Harassment Firings

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Alphabet Admits To Sexual Harassment Firings

Google's parent company sees revenue soar but has to make admission on sexual harassment

It has been a day of good and bad for Google's parent company Alphabet, with soaring advertising revenue tempered by the company's admission that Google has fired 48 people, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment claims in the past two years. Tarek Nseir is with the digital agency TH_NK in London and gives us his view. We’ll also get a view on the day’s trading on Wall Street from Cary Leahy of Decision Economics. And finally, consultants are a big part of the business environment, but increasingly they are part now of the charitable sector as well. We hear from Christine Mendonca who runs one such consultancy called Humans On the Move.
