How Google protected Andy Rubin, the ‘Father of Android’
San Francisco: Google gave Andy Rubin, the creator of Android mobile software, a hero’s farewell when he left the company in October 2014. “The New York Times story contains numerous inaccuracies about my employment at Google and wild exaggerations about my compensation,” Rubin said in a statement after the publication of this article. When asked about Rubin and the other cases, Eileen Naughton, Google’s vice president for people operations, said in a statement the company takes harassment seriously and reviews every complaint. That success gave Rubin more latitude than most Google executives, said four people who worked with him.sixthMAds In a civil suit filed this month by Rubin’s ex-wife, Rie Rubin, she claimed he had multiple “ownership relationships” with other women during their marriage, paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to them. “Being owned is kinda like you are my property, and I can loan you to other people.” Rubin built a robotics division within Google named Replicant.seventhMAds Around that time, Rubin was casually seeing another woman he knew from Android, according to two company executives briefed on the relationship.
