No, "Google" has not been omitted here. It was already mentioned that he was a Google employee, so it is not necessary to state "Google" again in this sentence. Ex: A Google exec has been engulfed in a sexual misconduct scandal. He was paid $90 million to leave (Google). Ex: I'm going to Costco for some groceries. I'll leave (Costco) after an hour.
