What is a "GSU"?

Google Stock Unit, internal term for RSU

I'm guessing RSU stands for Restructured Scientific Umbilical?

Restricted stock unit.

Stock compensation in the form of actual shares (not options) that vest over some time period.

I was way off.

Thanks a lot for the clarification!

Don't blame yourself, spelling mistakes happen.
