#4It's pretty wild that he was there since 2002, he's practically a founder.
He specifies that he was there over 20 years, prior to the company being incorporated, and only joined full-time in 2002.
That being said: David Drummond is a terrible person[0], who only has been there this long because of Larry Page and Sergey Brin's protection, because they are terrible people too[1][2]. The way Google's highest executives have treated women is disgusting and inexcusable. And while Drummond may not be getting an exit package, he sold off $200 million in stock this past year.
Evil is still very, very good business.

Let’s sure hope they investigated Sergey and Larry too, unlike them, at least this guy got married to his office romantic interest.

One of them, at least.
Another one, whom he had a baby with, was allegedly pushed out of the firm.

They both “stepped back” shortly after the announcement of this investigation, so it seems likely they were also examined.
