Larry and Sergey were having affairs with subordinates since the early days, and even as recently as 2014. So maybe the culture was never really that squeaky clean in the first place. I never heard about them retaliating against anyone, or any complaints being filed against them. But . . . would you hear about that? I don't know.

I wish I could say that I don't know anyone who this has happened to. But that wouldn't be true. I know of at least one person who has experienced retaliation at Google. She left the company for a while, but ultimately came back.
