No companies don't have to do this at all. Publicly announcing people's termination (other than maybe the CEO) is extremely unusual.

- jessaustin 14y agoYou're right of course. In retrospect, if both of these companies had had some adults in charge, the CEOs would have reached out to each other, apologized, and agreed to table the issue for two weeks. The employees involved would have been admonished not to say a fucking thing, and to delete all the crap they'd posted so far. After two weeks, we jibbering morons of the internet would have moved on, and the two CEOs could then jointly announce an amicable settlement, and joint corporate donation of $X to the PSF by way of apology to that august body for all the bullshit. (Seriously, I feel more sorry for the PSF than anyone else: they actually have attempted to do the right thing and this is what it gets them. What is the motivation for any other conference to get inclusive policies in place?) Everyone would have come out of that scenario smelling better than they smell now.
