The New York Times revealed last week that Google had paid millions of dollars in exit packages to male executives accused of harassment and the company stayed silent about the entire ordeal. This includes Andy Rubin, the creator of the Android mobile software. Google could have fired him and paid him nothing but instead the company gave him a $90 million exit package, paid in installments of about $2 million a month for four years. At the time, Google investigated and found the sexual assault accusations to be credible and true. Thousands of employees at Google walked out in the middle of the day in protest.
