"If EA were some kind of exploitative entity, wouldn't we have heard about it sooner? Wouldn't we have heard about it from multiple people? Instead, it's coming from someone whose husband clearly had trouble climbing the career ladder at the firm."

Given the problems that suing your employer is likely to give you, few people do so even if their employer is really bad.
(I have no opinion on this case, and there are people who sue their employer for no good reason. But the fact that it's just one lady is not a strong argument.)

- farofeiro 14y agoAgreed, moreover even if KPCB is not an "exploitative entity" as whole, it is possible this was a single case of harassment and retaliation by this guy - so there may not be multiple victims to speak up. When this kind of thing happens many companies don't know how to deal with it appropriately and maybe they didn't.
