"“Rod at no time ever, offered to help or coach me,"

Probably because he was afraid of being accused of mansplaining or getting #metooed. He was probably correct.

Quite sad, this is what happens when a society teaches people to weaponize victimhood for profit, in this case sex-based.

Thank fucking god. It's about time that a woman got what's coming to her.

Yayyy! Party hat on.

It feels like a kind of shameful pleasure, and I don't wish anything ill on this particular woman (though her claim sounds like a very dubious one), but it feels so good after decades of men being automatically in the wrong every time to get small signals like this that finally, finally, the karmic wheel may be beginning to turn.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 90%. (I'm a bot)

Watford Employment Tribunal, in Hertfordshire, England, dismissed all of Mary Guiney's claims and ordered her to pay Chipzilla the eye-watering sum after her attempt to claim £100,000 from the firm.

Intel's Internet of Things global partner director Rod O'Shea discriminated against "Strong, confident women" and engineered their dismissals, Guiney told the tribunal in January.

Intel counter-claimed against Guiney for £32,000, a sum it described as overpaid commission.
