David Drummond, the chief legal officer of Google parent company Alphabet, may have kept his job after a consensual sexual relationship with a female subordinate when he was general counsel, but not all GCs are as fortunate.
Drummond was part of the revelations in a recent report in The New York Times, which alleged that several high-ranking men at the company faced little or no consequences for inappropriate sexual relationships with women in their departments, some of which were consensual. Some of the men left Google with multimillion-dollar severance packages.
