>    Google CEO Sundar Pichai sent an email to all Google employees
>    Thursday saying the company has fired 48 people over the last
>    two years for sexual harassment. Of those 48 people, 13 were
>    "senior managers and above" and none of them got an exit
>    package when they were let go.  The email, which was obtained
>    by CNBC, was in response to a bombshell New York Times story
>    that said a handful of Google executives, including Android
>    creator Andy Rubin, were shielded by the company from sexual
>    misconduct allegations and offered massive payouts to leave
>    the company.  Pichai also said there were newer tools at
>    Google that employees can use to report sexual harassment or
>    misconduct. Google employees can also report sexual misconduct
>    anonymously, the email says.  The email is also signed by
>    Eileen Naughton, Google's vice president of people operations.
