Google revealed on Thursday that the tech giant has fired 48 employees for sexual harassment over the past two years.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai disclosed the information in response to a New York Times report that claimed the company had “protected” a former Android executive accused of sexual misconduct.
Pichai said in an email to employees that 48 employees had been fired and those former workers did not receive a severance package from the company.
The Times reported on Thursday that Andy Rubin, the executive in charge of Android software, was dismissed for sexual misconduct in 2014 and is still receiving a $90 million package to the company.
A spokesman for Rubin claims the exec left on his own accord and had no knowledge of a misconduct allegation.
