Key word: Private.
Where do you draw the line when you work with and are dating the same person? The only fault I see here on IAC is hiring people who are dating.
- aikah 12y agoIANAL but AFAIK if I send a mail to you it's not private and can totally be accepted as evidence in a court of law.There is no notion of privacy in sending a mail,a text message,... the only thing that would not be admissible is if I recorded a conversation between us without telling you you are on record.
- tbrownaw 12y agothe only thing that would not be admissible is if I recorded a conversation between us without telling you you are on record. Doesn't that vary by state? IIRC in some you can record anything you're involved in while in others everyone involved has to agree (or at least know?). Or maybe this was about getting sued under privacy laws rather than admissibility...
- dbloom 12y ago> Key word: Private. This is a ballpark guess, but probably about 99% of workplace harassment is done privately. > Where do you draw the line when you work with and are dating the same person? The only fault I see here on IAC is hiring people who are dating. If a manager has a relationship with a subordinate, the manager should be held accountable for that, not the subordinate.
- jessaustin 12y agoIf a manager has a relationship with a subordinate, the manager should be held accountable for that, not the subordinate. That's a great rule for the company, and it would be awesome if it existed at more places.

- dbloom 12y agoDirectly from the complaint: "Justin Mateen joined Tinder as Chief Marketing Officer, a position that made him Ms. Wolfe’s direct supervisor. Within two months after he became an employee, in November 2012, Mr. Mateen began pursuing a romantic relationship with Ms. Wolfe." http://www.rezlaw.com/News-Events/06-30-14_Complaint_with_Exhibits-1.pdf http://www.rezlaw.com/News-Events/06-30-14_Complaint_with_Ex... (page 5, paragraph 19)
- tootie 12y agoI think the accusation is that she was mistreated at work because of this.
- alttab 12y agoI say shame on them both for getting romantically involved as co-founders. IAC probably didn't know or know the extent.
- danielweber 12y agoIgnoring the romantic relationship, check pages 6 and 7 for how multiple officers didn't want a "girl" to be seen as a co-founder. It's not as salacious but the allegations, if true, move things out of the "one rogue manager" territory.
- alttab 12y agoThe entire complaint is rather damning. This is something I would expect from the Snapchat guys, but wow.
- toomuchtodo 12y ago> This is something I would expect from the Snapchat guys, but wow. And Tinder is any different.....how?
- alttab 12y agoAFAIK, the Tinder guys were not the ones with a leaked Fraternity leadership e-mail that clearly exposed them as misogynistic douches with little sensitivity outside their bro-ubble. That said, Tinder and Snapchat are two peas in a pod, eh?
- DanBC 12y agoIt seems she was willing to talk to him about work and had asked him to concentrate on work stuff. It seems he declined to do so. It also seems that some of his comments were made from work accounts, to work accounts, on work hardware, or face to face on work premises.
