Google CEO: we need to "take a much harder line on inappropriate behavior" [+ a resignation]
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/10/google-ceo-we-need-to-take-a-much-harder-line-on-inappropriate-behavior/ On Tuesday evening, Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent out an email to employees apologizing for the company's inadequate response in the wake of a recent report in The New York Times. The newspaper chronicled three top executives who have received massive payouts over the past decade despite being credibly accused of sexual misconduct ... The CEO also noted that not one executive who had been terminated or voluntarily left the company during the last two years received an "exit package." That would seemingly include Richard DeVaul, the director of X, Alphabet's so-called "moonshot" division, who reportedly abruptly left the company on Tuesday. DeVaul was one of the men named specifically by the Times, who allegedly made unwanted advances towards a woman while she was interviewing for a job where he would be her manager. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google Issues Mailing List: https://vortex.com/google-issues Founder: Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list https://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
