I read the first thread. People are under informed about discrimination cases. Ending an affair in the workplace is a common trigger for retaliation. Yet, someone argued that a woman was more likely to fabricate complaints after ending a relationship. Who is more likely to be vindictive? The manager or the employee? Most people acknowledge power tends to corrupt.

Though Pao did have a few things going against her. Husband wasn't a pillar of the community. The actual case, according to my employment lawyer friend, was weak.
