Synopsis

When Chelsey Glasson landed her dream job at Google, she was thrilled to join what she viewed as a progressive and inclusive organization. But from the moment she received her job offer, she began to experience instances of discrimination and harassment—eventually culminating in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit.
Friends, family, and even lawyers told Chelsey to move on, but she knew holding Google accountable was the path to proper healing. Although Google spent significant resources to discredit and silence her, the truth eventually prevailed.
Black Box is a story of triumph over a tech giant, a cautionary tale of how misconduct against women and minorities persists in the workplace, and a rallying call to break down the many barriers to justice.
No one wins when discrimination and harassment are allowed to run rampant. For those who have suffered silently, Black Box offers a critical perspective to consider in choosing your own path forward.
