That is the description made by DataCamp in their post trying to bury the issue as well as possible. Meanwhile, the other side tries to keep the description general out of respect for the victim, presumably seeking to not spark a discussion over the details of their clothing and demeanour. Apparently the exact details are serious enough that they could gather a 100 signatures on a letter about it and DataCamp itself felt they could not simply remain silent.

It would be better to have more explicit details. The post says we should get this guys fired. Then what does he do? Find another job. The post from DC doesn't say the executive's name. If new employers call DC to ask what happened, they won't tell them because they could be sued for slander. The trend has been to fire people who get into trouble like this. But should a company pass judgement on someone like that. How much evidence should it require to destroy a person's livelyhood. If there is evidence DC should hand it over to the police, suspend the executive. Then fire them when the charges stick. Corporations shouldn't be dealing in justice. If there is evidence I'm more than happy to boycott a co, but if we're asking the public to pass judgement, they should have the evidence.

Did those 100 signatories know the exact details, or did they sign because they though it was serious enough their colleagues were signing it? From this description, this could have been just a bit of overenthusiastic dancing and bumping into someone. That there is a mob wanting to fire a person with this tiny bit of information is the real crime here.

  You don't know anything about what information the instructors received, only that the organisers of the protest are described as "cautious" and "patient" in their attempts to discuss the issue with DataCamp. From that description you then invent a "mob" that demands someone should be fired and also dismiss the sexual harassment, the only actions described that could count as crime, by declaring what the "real crime" is.

    > the organisers of the protest are described as "cautious" and "patient" Described by themselves lol. You assume people have to do as you command and then claim to be "patient" because it doesn't happen immediately. Well the world is not like your parent's care where they might have prioritized you over everything else. A 100 people group agitating for punishments over a vague issue is a mob. Your lynchings are not welcome. If you have a problem, take it to a court of law, not Twatter mobs.
