A firing and two suspensions: Google cracks down

Tensions are escalating between employees and management at Google Inc., with the company saying it has just fired one employee and placed two others on leave. Bloomberg reports that Alphabet Inc.-owned Google has fired a worker for allegedly leaking employee names and personal data to the media, while the suspended workers are accused of violating company policy — one for searching for and sharing confidential documents not related to their job, and the other for tracking the calendars of staff in various departments. None of the three have been named, but two other employees told Bloomberg that the suspended workers were based in the U.S. The documents at the heart of one suspension concern a Chrome browser tool that was recently installed on computers at the company, according to Google employees that Bloomberg spoke with.

In this depressing — and all-too-common — scenario, you may need to sock away 44% of your income for retirement

The earlier you start saving for retirement, the less painful it's going to be. That's one of the simple, but important, lessons illuminated in a new chart posted by data visualization site FlowingData.com — which revealed that many of us would need to save as little as 4% of our income, or as much as 44%, for retirement, depending on when you start saving and when you plan to retire. For example, if you start saving at 25 and plan to retire at 70, you'll need to save just 4% of your income; meanwhile, if you start saving at 45 and plan to retire at 62, that percentage is 44%.

The alleged securities fraud may have been intended to mask the impact global warming will have on Exxon's finances, but it wasn't a grand reckoning of its responsibility for the man-made phenomenon.
