More than a thousand workers at Google parent company Alphabet signed a letter to Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Friday, demanding the company updates its policies on handling harassment. 

In the letter, employees call on the company to ban people who are found to be harassers from managing direct reports. That includes “dotted line” reports consisting of temps, vendors and contractors. The employees also demand that harassers be forced to change teams from the person they harassed.
