Perhaps because of the robust European labor protections that Google had to comply with?

They don’t want him in the office to prevent espionage or sabotage. I’m sure you can think of other potential negatives, too.

Contrast this with the presumably US situation of a reported Google firing by email, instantly gone forever, can’t even say goodbye to colleagues.

The (nation-)state you work in matters a lot.

That’s why they have to give him money. That’s not why he’s not in the office.
