more on the WNYC firings... the in-house piece has accounts that certainly indicate "bad judgment" at a minimum.

yeah there's no honest way to know about the issues and come to the conclusion "you know who needs to be shamed for this? MERYL STREEP!" unless you're already gunning for her for other reasons. Which the dude who did this, by his own admission, was.

If I were the writer of that Newsweek piece, I might be annoyed at this amazing typo:
A day after Newsweek first contacted Microsoft for comment this week, an unknown number of Microsoft employees in Seattle received an email from Human Resources officials warning them: “Microsoft has been informed by the King County prosecutor’s office that they have obtained records in connection with a criminal enforcement activity related to a brother engaged in prostitution.”

This bit is an insane pivot
Two women told The Times about episodes involving Mike Germano, Vice’s chief digital officer who founded Carrot Creative, the digital ad agency that Vice acquired in 2013. Amanda Rue, a former strategist, said that at Carrot’s holiday party in 2012 Mr. Germano told her that he hadn’t wanted to hire her because he wanted to have sex with her....“Carrot has been repeatedly recognized as one of the industry’s best places to work, and I do not believe that these allegations reflect the company’s culture — or the way we treat each other,” Mr. Germano said in a statement.

haggis is the scientology escapee, no? i could see this being an opportunistic plot to take him down coordinated by scientology. or maybe he's just a shitty person, which is equally plausible.
― akm, Friday, 5 January 2018 20:47 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I wouldn't want to make a call one way or another but I had the same initial reaction about Haggis. This is exactly how the CoS goes after those who've gotten out, and I can totally see them using the current flurry of allegations as a smokescreen.
― Bobby Buttrock (Old Lunch), Friday, 5 January 2018 20:56 (six years ago) link
or on the other hand, like in the overwhelming majority of cases where multiple women accuse a man of sexual harassment/abuse, he might just be an abuser
