The New York Times article about him today said:
> Google could have fired Mr. Rubin and paid him little to nothing on the way out. Instead, the company handed him a $90 million exit package, paid in installments of about $2 million a month for four years, said two people with knowledge of the terms.
However I don't know if that's just opinion or based on some set of facts about his situation.
- DannyBee 8y agoThat seems just like opinion. Some data: My wife works in HR (not at Google, but in tech and other industries), and has handled things like executive compensation/retention/etc. She has done many of these types of situations over the years. She was doubtful they would have been able to pay him nothing. I've also seen a bunch fly by on the legal side over the years, and most (but not all) that i've seen would have paid out something in a case like this. Best guess as to the 90 million was that it was not about this, but stock payout in exchange for not competing with google for a while or something.
