Are you saying that the entire concept of shame should be disregarded? On the other hand, might he be guilty of something? Of creating a hostile workplace, of destroying his own credibility with regard to performance reviews and interviewing, or at least, at Google, supporting his reasoning with bad science?

IIRC he mentioned in an interview that he got the highest performance rating and a promotion last cycle.

There is a middle ground to shaming. People can overshame and instances of overshaming have been very toxic. For example, calling for violence or for a coworker to be fired. These instances are never punished.

He was also on the Google search team, which we all know is full of scrubs and duds.
