Yeah not trying to make any excuses for google but if you have to do layoffs and layoff someone who could have retired comfortably 5 years ago, thats probably not the worst decision you could have made.  He probably had a succession plan in place anyway and got a sweetheart severance package.

From everything I've seen, Google's severance is actually quite generous. If nothing else, they're at least more or less doing right by the people they let go.
