Pinterest employees staged a virtual walkout on Friday over long-bubbling concerns over racial and gender discrimination at the social media company.
The walkout came just days after former COO Francoise Brougher, who left Pinterest in April, sued the company for unlawful termination. The suit alleges sexist comments from other executives including co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann.
