Among issues the company has been dealing with is the blowback from a WSJ report that it "never told users about a software bug that exposed the privacy data of hundreds of thousands of users," which led to the shuttering of "the consumer functionality of its Google+ social site." Other issues Google has faced is turmoil over "its work with the U.S. military," sexual harassment claims that led to the firing of 48 staff members over two years, and its China plans. Chief executive Sundar Pichai was charged with protecting three senior executives after they were accused of "sexual misconduct," although Pichai responded that, "none of those fired in the past two years received an exit package," and that Google is "dead serious about making sure we provide a safe and inclusive workplace." According to Google, sales in the "other" category, which includes cloud-computing services, Pixel smartphones and other hardware devices has grown 29 percent to $4.6 billion.
