The plaintiff, Ellen Pao, had accused the firm, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, of discriminating against her in the course of her employment and eventual dismissal. The decision handed Kleiner a sweeping victory in a case that had mesmerized Silicon Valley with its salacious details while simultaneously amplifying concerns about the lack of diversity in the technology industry. Even with her loss in the case, Ms. Pao’s suit succeeded in prompting debate about women in technology and venture capital, said Deborah Rhode, a law professor at Stanford University. “This case sends a powerful signal to Silicon Valley in general and the venture capital industry in particular,” Ms. Rhode said. “Defendants who win in court sometimes lose in the world outside it.” Continue reading the main story Related Coverage Kleiner and its lawyers did little to celebrate the win, with the lawyer Lynne C. Hermle saying that it “never occurred to me for a second that a careful and attentive jury like this would find either discrimination or retaliation.” Kleiner issued a statement saying it was committed to supporting women.[/QUOTE]

If you want more background on her, read it up on wikipedia, it gets worse and worse. She is married to Buddy Fletcher, a former hedge fund manager and founder of the Fletcher Foundation. His fund is in bankruptcy, and he is accused of civil fraud. So this lawsuit seems more like a money grab to get out of the deep shit they are already in.

i seriously hope the true story about her gets around so people can see her for the sham she is but that is kind of like hoping i don't get wet when walking out into a rainstorm it feels like
Fucking moron gets told off because they're a fucking moron, good riddance. Fuck you for trying to blame it on other issues completely out of your control, though. Like, every situation I have seen like this where someone goes "Oh I didn't do anything! I was targeted, I was unfairly treated, yada yada yada" has [I]always[/I] been up to no good.
This bitch deserves nothing but prison, alongside her scummy husband.

Has there ever been a case with more unlikable people involved? The numbers that came out in the case showed that she was absolutely competent in her job but got turned over for promotions likely because Kleiner Perkins just wanted to save a few bucks, but on the other side we have someone who is already a millionaire suing for 16 million dollars. If it was actually about the discrimination she could have just said "I'm suing for $1 to expose what's going on" [editline]28th March 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Wii60;47412994] and a summary of Ellen pao if no one knows [img]http://i.imgur.com/iueTPP8.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] You realize your summary is completely unsubstantiated and that there's plenty of damning evidence available from actual news sources without having to resort to wild speculation and witchhunts, right?
[QUOTE=Impact1986;47413238]You mean like the true story of Anita Sarkeesian, Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu etc etc etc?[/QUOTE] On the other hand this is a court case with a verdict against her on all counts. From what I know it's incredibly difficult to twist public opinion against that unless there are actual irregularities (which I've seen only in her own testimony, proving she lied on a few occasions).

[QUOTE=Monkah;47413405]Why is SocJus pretending that this was a major victory for them, of sorts?[/QUOTE] Those people are just brain dead. No other way to put it.
[QUOTE=Monkah;47413405]Why is SocJus pretending that this was a major victory for them, of sorts?[/QUOTE] They always do. In this case it probably will drag them down a bit with her though, in the public opinion (if the story gets around that is, but I can't really see where the discrepancies wouldn't be mentioned aside from blatantly biased sites).
Personally the most shocking thing here to me is that both the forewoman and the bailiff managed to miscount twelve things twice.

The CEO didn't leave his wife to marry her so she got bitchy, and tried to sue the company she works at (Reddit) because of this and how they were "discriminating her". Is this correct, if not could someone correct me? This image is kinda hard to understand.

[QUOTE=Wii60;47412994] and a summary of Ellen pao if no one knows [img]http://i.imgur.com/iueTPP8.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I'm not saying I'm pro-Ellen Pao but I'm usually iffy on reddit/4chan type effort posts like these mainly because they're often unsourced or lack objective/credible sources. In other words I take these kinds of posts with a grain of salt until there's objective sources that prove these posts right.

They know how the Streissand effect works, they're not idiots. Reddit is at the tipping point where they're going to keep growing, and they're going to keep adding on more and more baggage, until the point where they fall over and die. I'm actually strangely excited to see how it happens, I hope it's something different than Digg, I'm tired of the Kevin Rose effect where someone gets a good idea, they hire good people, they put together a good company, they make a ton of money and then they absolutely fucking tank the business.
