> I wish more companies with resources such as Google would take a stand and fight.

I believe it has less to do with being well resourced and more to do with keeping internal politics and corporate secrets out of public court records

As well as lubricating the wheels of executive recruitment, because what exec is going to want to work for a place known to fight outgoing execs over their severance.

How many female (or any gender) execs want to work at a place giving $150 million to sex coercers on the way out?

I think you're right. Still, screw it. If nobody ever takes a stand, this sort of thing will keep happening (and good on the lawyer representing the shareholders for suing)
