That’s not how it works, at all. This is dismissive of a number of facts:
- power dynamics in the workplace and culture (often those who raise these issues are punished not taken seriously and protected adequately)[0]
- when someone is reporting this kind of behavior their professional aspirations can and often are[1] hampered or damaged regardless of the outcome of any investigation. Backlash is common and frankly unacceptable
- Chris Sacca himself admitted to sexist behavior[2]
Given all this, I don’t think this is outlandish at all. In fact the odds of getting the correct eyes on a report of harassment is often so hard the only thing left often is whistleblower or public opinion to motivate something being done about and that is a sad untenable state of affairs
