Monday, Motherboard published an article about a memo written by a Google employee titled "I’m Not Returning to Google After Maternity Leave, and Here is Why." The memo, which alleges retaliation and discrimination against the author while she was pregnant, has gone viral inside the company over the past week, and has been read by more than 10,000 employees there.

The memo has spurred employees to post memes defending her on an internal message board.
