It isn't that he must protect Google from a sexual harassment lawsuit, but rather he needs to wait until a proper investigation is done to prevent publishing anything that might be considered libel on the part of himself or his employer.
- detcader 12y agoThat makes sense, though I'm not sure that it makes up the whole of what nostrademons was talking about.
- nostrademons 12y agoI think it's more than that. Yonatan said "multiple" legal issues - my guess is that there's a legal issue around a potential sexual harassment suit from Kelly; there is a legal issue about a potential libel suit from Kelly, Rod, or Vic; there is a legal issue about a potential wrongful termination suit from Rod if they fire him; and there may be others I haven't even thought of. When you have a complex situation involving the rights of multiple parties, the best thing you can do is stay silent until you have all the facts. This is usually infuriating to the people involved and seems apathetic to bystanders, but you end up doing everybody a disservice if you don't. That's probably the reason for the "multiple obscenities" that Yonatan is thinking; he is in a situation where doing the right thing means being crucified by many people, some of whom are even right according to the information they have available to them, until he can actually ascertain the facts and weigh the rights of each party.
