I recognized who the parent comment was talking about immediately. Note that this woman is now the Chief Communications Officer of the Match group. Goes to show the fear that everyone shows about this topic is almost always overblown. Assuming you aren't actually Harvey Weinstein and didn't do anything criminal, the worst that happens in every other case is you get the same job or even better for a different company a few years later. Brendan Eich and Mel Gibson still have no trouble finding work. Cancellation doesn't ever seem to be a life sentence. James Damore seems to be doing fine, just not at Google: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-damore-b277b62b/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-damore-b277b62b/ (interesting that he doesn't name the startup, though).

> Cancellation doesn't ever seem to be a life sentence. I don't believe "they'll recover eventually" is in any way an excuse for "let's ruin this person's life [temporarily] for fun". They got fired and are likely unable to have a stable life for a year. I sure wouldn't like to get fired and have the paparazzi in front of my house for the next month. > Goes to show that the fear everyone shows about this topic is almost always overblown. Sounds like the right amount of fear to me. Some people don't have the privilege to go without a job for a year. Some people don't have the mental fortitude to deal with the crap that ensues. People shouldn't need to worry about getting fired because the people of social media didn't agree with what they said.
