The chain of events did not start with 'her deciding to go public.' In fact neither of us know what started this ugly mess. But one thing we do know is that it started long before she went public. For example, the actions of the f

If you do a little research about how things work out for whistle blowers you might not be quite as confident about what a great deal this is for her.

Of course they can defend themselves in public. Corporations engage PR firms to manage that expertly for them all the time. And ironically, whether this goes to trial or not, the worse the objective case for Github the more confident you

It doesn't matter how much equity she has. Or how much professional experience she has. She is not an employee and hence is not entitled to interfere in the internal affairs of the company without management oversight. If an appropriat

Completely agree. And it appears that the wife felt completely entitled to behave in this way. Just extraordinary.

Exactly right. (see my comment on this very point)

My observation is that it is very easy to misunderstand stories like the hoola hoop example. Imagine 2 scenarios: a) a company where we stipulate that there is no sexism and women feel respected and valued b) a company where to stipulate

Didn't the founder bring his love affair into the company? I assume he loves his wife?

"I see nothing wrong with the involvement of founders' wives in the business" This is nuts. If person A works at a company then obviously their significant other (male or female) will likely talk with them about work situatio

I don't pretend to have any info on what truly happened. But the story doesn't have to be 'completely accurate' for it to be disturbing. A company can't have family members browse around company offices and imposing

Ben's blogs are the most hard hitting concentrated value of any I ever read on management. Another great piece.

I believe that in airports your rights are significantly different from your rights in the US.

Absolutely right: It is witty and extremely compelling viewing. EVERY citizen should watch it.

Every single person should watch this immediately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc It is a brilliant talk about your rights.

This is beyond depressing. The idea that the USA, currently the world's leading first world country, hosts this kind of medieval nonsense is just depressing.

Which accusations and why?

If you want to reflect on something truly heinous bear in mind that during torture sessions these days it is customary to have a doctor on hand to ensure that the victim is not actually killed. The objective is to inflict ongoing pain and k

I read your comment. And the article you were commenting on. To be honest I found your comment shallow and mean spirited. You didn't present a true criticism of the article. You simply alleged that it was lame. Ironically, whilst you m
