I believe it is related to this movement to subpoena big tech about “collusion with government” https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/15/jim-jordan-subpoenas-alphabet-amazon-apple-meta-and-microsoft-.html https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/15/jim-jordan-subpoenas-alphabe... Either she is being blamed, or she is deeply guilty and wants to try to avoid the publicity, or they anticipate this will become extremely ugly. Or sundar is blaming her for lining him up for a firing squad. Or she is a liability due to her past work. Regardless, it seems like she is leaving because what she had to do to make the government happy previously is now going to be used against Google. Someone else mentioned the theory that she might be the best Sundar replacement. Maybe she found out it’s not her or Sundar is eliminating competition here.

Maybe, but I also think a lot of these people that hit the jackpot from the maturation of the internet the last 25 years are just going to quit cause the job is going to suck going forward. Being an internet tech executive when the industry is no longer growing ridiculously and is just another sector of the economy like durable good manufacturing, or real estate development or whatever might not be very fun anymore. The founders themselves of these companies have already gotten a headstart.
