There was massive fallout at Google this week after a senior engineer, James Damore, released a controversial memo.
The situation snowballed from there, forcing Google CEO Sundar Pichai to cut short his family vacation.
"The past few days have been very difficult for many at the company, and we need to find a way to debate issues on which we might disagree -- while doing so in line with our Code of Conduct," Pichai wrote in a companywide memo.
Pichai, who was appointed CEO in 2015 and is largely beloved by employees, made $199 million in 2016. His compensation was mostly in stock, not salary, Business Insider previously reported.
Here's a look at the daily routine of the man at the helm of Google:
While he's reading, Pichai usually eats an omelet for breakfast. The Chennai, India, native also keeps up what he calls his "very English" habit of drinking a cup of tea.
He also stood out for his amazing numerical memory. It's a skill Pichai has had since childhood, when he noticed he had knack for recalling phone numbers.
He's also an avid fan of cricket -- which he excelled at in high school.
