As somebody who hadn't heard of her before her allegations, her reputation to me was "person who was offended by a meritocracy rug and people watching hula-hoopers at a party". If anything, I'm more afraid of working with Horvath because any little thing I do could seemingly get me fired.
- grifpete 12y agoI think this is a very unfair characterization of her statements. The substance of her concerns was not a rug or people watching hula hoopers. I think your remark about being afraid of working with her is both understandable and disturbing. And both stem from the same thing - uncertainty. Understandable because if she really is an oversensitive harridan then you might well not want to work with her. But disturbing, because if she isn't then you have judged her unfairly. And the reason this is doubly unfair is that if her case has any merit she can't win in this situation. There will always be people like you who don't want to give her ANY benefit of the doubt. This is a stigma very similar to the one that whistle blowers suffer. So I understand where you are coming from but it really sucks that the whiff of scandal can result in people not wanting to touch her with a barge pole.
