Given her previous record with going after past employers I think Sam was just covering his back from a potential lawsuit.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a record of one, unless you know something the rest of us don't about her time at Cravath Swaine & Moore, WebTV, BEA Systems, TellMe or Danger.

There are some people willing to go after a previous employer for treating them badly and other people who would rather let it go so as to not create a PR mess for yourself / when it comes to future jobs.

Pao has a track record that shows she's in the first group. I'm not saying that should automatically get people to treat her differently, but it's enough of a "track record" for some people, regardless of the record having one data point on it.
