Google executive fired after female boss groped him

I can suggest another way to look at it: you found someone with overlooked potential and gave them a chance.

I can understand how those means of achieving that would leave a bad taste in your mouth, and I've heard from people on the receiving end (the folks who got hired) how it can also leave a bad taste in theirs.

It's still worth considering (IMHO) the outcome, as a counterbalance to the shitty means.

I agree with your take despite the downvotes. Ultimately this person went on to be successful and was formidable and honest. They deserved the chance they were given, just as most of the other candidates so far have made it my way (imo) did. People have taken chances on me too. Real life is full of complex feelings. I don’t really think this experience demonstrated anything to me other than that this sort of pressure exists.

Totes, and thanks :)

BTW, I think about this conversation a lot, any time I think about ends versus means, you might also appreciate it: https://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-6/page-112-2/
