Do you think that termination clauses given by google to employees have zero conditions attached to them? Even if you're an executive there are absolutely things you can do that would forfeit the contract. If you were fired for stealing secrets, do you think they'd pay you out? Certainly the same clauses could be written to avoid paying if you have to be let go because something you did caused some other sort of harm to the company. We can talk about whether or not the contract included such a clause and whether or not thats a failure on Google's part, but I have a feeling that's not why you posted this comment.
And btw I think it's clear that if I offered you the sort of money this dude had you probably wouldn't pass it up based on what the conditions for termination payout clauses were.

- ixtli 8y agoBecause I didn’t think it was relevant at all: I don’t believe you want to talk about whether or not google is representing its own interests contractually. But now that you bring it up I imagine my intuition is correct.
