Wow. How petty. There's so many things that came from this case that make me question how much of the testimony from her is real and how much of it is in her head.
Another example, from a recent re/code article:
> Ellen Pao said she filed her gender discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers partly because of three female administrative assistants who had been discriminated against because of their gender
> There is only one problem: No one in the courtroom seems to know where these admins are. No one seems to know the details of their grievances. No one in court, including Pao, even knows all their names.
And then:
> Pao also said she was told by Kleiner Perkins talent partner Juliet de Baubigny that Nazre was a “sex addict.” To her, that pointed to a larger unspoken history. “I thought she must have additional information and maybe about the administrative assistants,” Pao said.
> Asked on the stand today whether she ever called Nazre a “sex addict,” de Baubigny replied, “No, that is completely ridiculous.”
- Smoofer 12y agoWell, the last example is really a "he said/she said" situation, to be fair. If there's no proof otherwise besides Pao's testimony, it would make sense that de Baubigny would say it never happened. I did think the "resentment chart" was very high school, though.
- sukilot 12y agoI am sad to see this bigotry that looks down on people who organize their thoughts and experiences on paper, vs keeping mental grudges that are likely psychologically biased.
- Smoofer 12y agoThere's nothing inherently wrong with keeping a list like that - just the way it is presented in the article makes it feel very juvenile.
