It destroys the accuser -- I don't want to hire a liability. She may make a similar accusation at my company.
It destroys the accused -- again, I don't want to hire a liability. He may harass someone at my company.
Quite frankly, in a situation like this, I personally wouldn't take a risk hiring either of them. I have a lot of job candidates, and there's no reason to take a risk. Googling someone before you hire them is universal, and a news story like this basically kills careers forever.
It also hurts the employer -- I don't want to work for for a company where this stuff happens -- but much less so.

- cpks 12y agoEllis' new employer hired her before this happened. Some people will hire her, mind you. It just reduces the set of opportunities perhaps ten-fold, or reduces the level of those opportunities by one or two rungs on the corporate ladder. That's a career killer in most cases.
- pron 12y agoI would be happy to hire someone like her! She's shown she has guts, and is not afraid to disrupt a stagnant institution. Basically, everything you could wish for in a startup. But I can see why some in the old Silicon Valley establishment might be hesitant; they have very a conservative mindset, and, in general, don't like rocking the boat.
