Ellen Pao loses gender discrimination suit against Kleiner Perkins

Vordreller · 2015-03-28T00:59:37+00:00

Is it just me or does that text feel like they're trying to make her look like the victim of a spiteful jury?

Especially that interview with the juror feels like the juror is saying: "this was totally discrimination, but not in the legal sense".

“Men in VC firms are breathing a sigh of relief and women in tech are feeling defeated,”

WTF FUCK YOU

But...but... who's going to pay off her husband's debts now?!?!

I guess it goes to show you that sleeping with your boss and being terrible at your job sometimes doesn't lead to a happy ending.

Judge (nervously)....this isn't how the script goes!

/u/tonyespresso : Please keep in mind that half the reason these stories are written in such a controversial fashion is to draw "hateclicks" from people who disagree. You can discourage this behaviour by using archive links:

You still get the story, just minus giving them ad views.

Juror Marshalette Ramsey, 41, a Bay Area Rapid Transit manager, took Pao's side.

"When promotions were made, this woman was not promoted," she said after the verdict, "maybe it wasn't because of her gender but that doesn't mean she was wrong to sue."

"We didn't look at it in light of the greater good of the industry," Ramsey added.

That is fucking terrifying.

There was no evidence at all to support Pao's claims in this case. The fact that she still got two jurors to side with her coupled with the incredibly biased media coverage of this trial makes me depressed.

Couldn't have happened to a cuntier person.

The tone of this article is clearly, "She was robbed. 9 out of 10 jurors robbed her."

The quotes are from the sole juror in favor, and I'm assuming the ONE holdout on the one count.

She lost on all 4 counts. This says, if you're going to claim that people are discriminating against you, let alone an industry or a whole society, you better get your evidence in order.

But there isn't any. Look, some people DO discriminate. We get that.. and nobody is going to blame you for going after them. I think these women are giving the whole feminist movement a bad name by going after 'society' with no evidence.. just speculation and anecdotal BS.

Suck it Ellen Pao! So glad she lost. Although it seems she may have 'won' on the 4th claim - that her termination was retaliatory. By my count, only 8 of the 12 jurors voted no. Not sure what effect that has....

acyc · 2015-03-28T06:25:48+00:00

Well this makes me pretty happy. A step closer to women not being able to just pull the "IT's CUS I'm A WOMYN, CHeck Ur PrivelEGE" card

TheRedThrowAwayPill · 2015-03-28T00:28:49+00:00

A couple other notes — well, let’s call it speculation, more accurately. These are not substantiated by me seeing them for myself, but I’ve heard them each from two people who were in the room when the “verdict” was read. One is that juror two, the woman who voted yes on all claims, was wiping away tears while the other jurors gave their verdicts. And the other is that multiple jurors turned their head to look at juror three when he said no on the fourth claim. The implication there is that he changed his vote.

Had you had more I-Love-Jody-Arias type of women on that panel ... you could be seeing PPD like this just up and evaporating.

What's she doing now? Oh wait...

It's not terribly relevant. But

REALLY!?!

Since no one made a pun yet...

She got it... PAO!! Right in the kisser!

spacedogg · 2015-03-28T03:37:16+00:00

Haha

Mo_Dex · 2015-03-28T14:35:13+00:00

hopefully she doesn't make this post disappear

Allahu Akbar!

Swiggy · 2015-03-28T16:29:57+00:00

Since almost all the media outlets are crediting this case with "bringing about discussion about gender issues" I wonder if any of them will raise this question, "Are many of the claims of discrimination women feel in the workplace unfounded and due more to performance?"

andrewdok · 2015-03-28T20:33:34+00:00

"This article is related to: Minority Groups"

How...? Aren't there more women than men in the US, making women the majority?

2015-03-28T20:41:00+00:00

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fucking feminazis.

First and foremost takeaway from this is 'NEVER EVER LIE'. Being a woman, does not give you any more privilege to lie and have your way.

Yes there is a dearth of women executives in Tech sector, but that does not mean we need to fill that up with double faced women like Ellen Pao. (Reddit - I am looking at you).

myevillaugh · 2015-03-28T15:31:47+00:00

Is this really what this sub has become? Making snide remarks at someone you don't know?

There are a lot of harsh words accusations here, but they're unsubstantiated. Don't turn this sub into a mean-spirited circle jerk.
