No one really knows why he left Google. Was he forced to leave silently with support for good optics around his departure by Google or he just left abruptly dropping everything he built till then on his own volition. Execs like him just don't drop everything and leave at once without a good transition plan and thinking things through. No one knows the real story. He had to step down from Essential for a valid reason which they can never disclose in all honesty. All we know is that, it has something to do with the reasons why he left Google. The real reasons for his departure is shrouded in secrecy and probably protected or kept a secret with a lot of legalease... Edit: A quick google search says he left Google because of misconduct. Inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate.

You really need to post a source when repeating workplace misconduct allegations.

    Some of us have better things to do than research rumors from every comment on the internet. It is not too much to ask for sources when making certain statements.

      I'm not sure what the word 'research' means. Can you look it up for me? I have better things to do.

No fucking way! You are so lame to repeat and continue spreading rumors that have not been asserted. It's because of people like you the #metoo rally will get such a bad reputation and leave people bitter. Get a life.

  These are not rumors. Multiple news sources reported the misconduct and Andy had to take a leave of absence from Essential. Andy would have hired a stellar law firm to protect his reputation against defamation, if there was no truth to this. When the credibility he built in his lifetime is at stake, it would be naive assume otherwise. Edit: I personally admire what he was able to accomplish in mobile but was disappointed when I first heard the new about his mis-conduct. He showed poor judgement, and I didn't expect this of him.
