But because its a friend, you can lighten the burden. The golden parachute, not pursuing the case beyond the minimum, not bringing it up in hiring recommendations, etc. If its already beyond his friend circle, then some kind of punishment is required; but only just enough to get everyone to shut up about it.

- coldtea 8y agoDidn't care personally doesn't mean you wont do what you need to cover the company (and your own ass) from negative future feedback (plus legal trouble) of not doing anything. They cared about that, but they also cared about their pal (and fellow senior exec) more, so they designed a nice respectable and profitable exit strategy (people can resign for any reason after all, and at the time Google presented it as his own decision, amicable and everything).
