• Alphabet’s Controversial Chief Legal Officer, David Drummond, Leaves Company
  Alphabet’s controversial chief legal officer, David Drummond, is leaving the company, effective January 31. 

  Drummond, an employee of nearly 20 years, was being scrutinized as part of a board investigation into the company’s handling of sexual misconduct for claims that he had inappropriate relationships with other workers. The probe also included the handling of allegations against Android creator Andy Rubin, who reportedly received a $90 million exit package after the company found sexual assault claims against him credible (Rubin denied wrongdoing at the time of the report). 

  A company spokesperson said that Drummond will not be receiving an exit package.
