While in some cases a company will settle a lawsuit even when claims are groundless, it's really hard for me to read that in here.
1. They don't seem to have settled with the developer in question (although I may have honestly missed that).
2. You settle by giving the quacking duck a bunch of money to shut up. You don't fire 4 people who didn't do anything wrong, or else you have just quintupled your potential legal exposure.
I'm glad they did the right thing. I'm sad the bad thing happened in the first place. I am hopeful that this kind of workplace culture will die out. I am worried that it will continue.
