Yeah this section really damaged her credibility for me. She says the guys were "gawking", so they were not saying anything inappropriate, just "staring openly and stupidly". I can picture a professional business environment where gawking would be inappropriate, but I have a hard time picturing that environment with women hula hooping to music. Plus is gawking a crime? Yes, those random employees were being unprofessional, but worth writing about in an email to Tech Crunch?
- intortus 13y agoI didn't know that TechCrunch was strictly involved with reporting crime. (Btw, TechCrunch asked.)
- dangero 13y agoTechCrunch asked what? I meant crime in a figurative sense: "an action or activity that, although not illegal, is considered to be evil, shameful, or wrong.". I've quit a lot of jobs, but I've never felt a desire to correspond with the press as to why. My assumption would be that if I ever did want to share my misgivings with the press, I would want to share the substantial ones, not the petty ones. I'm just saying this seems like a petty issue that in my opinion weakens the overall narrative.
- freshfunk 13y agoSame. This just makes it look like she's overly sensitive and perceiving things in a very skewed and unfair light.
- Spearchucker 13y agoGiven what she's gone through and experienced until that point, over-sensitivity might be expected, if not justifiable. I'd caution against taking any single event in isolation and without context.
