'Sex Between Employees Was Usual Thing, Hot Girls Common Sight at Google During Early Days'

California, July 12: Charlie Ayers, the first chef at Google's cafeteria, made explosive revelations about the early days of the company that later became an online search engine giant. Ayers said Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin used to be surrounded by 'hot girls' and sex among employees was prevalent when the company was just a start-up.

"Larry and Sergey had like this gaggle of girls who were hot, and all become like their little harem of admins, I call them the L&S Harem," Charlie Ayers said for the book Valley of Genius. "All those girls are now different heads of departments in that company, years later," he said, according to an excerpt obtained by Vanity Fair.

Heather Cairns, the fourth Google employee and its first human resources manager, said that nobody would hesitate to talk about sex between employees because sexual intercourse was very common at the Google. "Remember, we're a bunch of twentysomethings except for me — ancient at 35, so there are some hormones, and they're raging," Cairns said.

Cairns added that staff had concerns about Sergey Brin's relationships with his female employees. "You kind of trusted Larry with his personal life. We always kind of worried that Sergey was going to date somebody in the company," she said. Brin later had an affair with Google Glass marketing manager Amanda Rosenberg, which led to his divorce from his wife, Anne Wojcicki.

Google did not respond to the claims made by its former employees in the book.
