Really? To me the article reads like moral mccarthyism. He sounds like a not nice person to be around, like a bad husband, but really, really, this is national news:
'And, indeed, multiple women whom Recode interviewed said their sexual relationships with Jurvetson were not forced, and did not involve an implicit workplace quid-pro-quo.
While the allegations do not resemble the scandals that have forced other powerful Silicon Valley men out of their jobs in recent months, they do shed some light on what investigators found.
“He’d sort of create a soap opera for himself,” said one of the women who dated Jurvetson, who requested anonymity to protect her career. “He lied to us.”`
and especially his part:
'A second woman who dated Jurvetson told Recode she was searching for career opportunities in venture capital and startups. The woman, who declined to give her real name out of professional concerns, said she only later realized he was also dating the first woman, although she herself was also seeing other men in what she described as an off-again, on-again relationship with Jurvetson.'
What is the scandal here, or the story even?
- CharlesW 9y ago> What is the scandal here, or the story even? TFA helpfully summarized this in the subhead: "Jurvetson was asked to leave because DFJ caught him lying about what it considered serious allegations, a source said." It's common for the cover-up, not the crime, to be the key reason behind a corporate action.
