The sky is blue, therefor I’m cancelling (insert whatever the fuck here)!

i would not hire you.

I’d normally agree with you, but I looked—like, read and reread this article—and, for the life of me, could not find the rape joke to which this woman so vehemently and obstreperously objected. There’s a very real difference between making a rape joke and referencing a piece of pop culture which itself references…

I think you added a couple extra decimal points there. 30:1 would be about 3.2%. Although that’s still probably below average.

It is not a failure in leadership by default. If I have 30 employees, I am not expected to have 15 men and 15 women. Instead, I am expected to have 30 men and women that are qualified to do the job. If I for some reason have 30 applications and 29 are male and 1 female, what do you expect me to do? I’m not going to go…

I’m actually surprised you don’t agree. She voiced her objection and it was heard. The person she was talking to apologized, said it would never happen again, and she kept going. She kept going, saying nothing was being done, but it had already been resolved. She was the one not being reasonable, and they gave her a 1…

Anyone who continues to escalate a reference to a popular internet meme after what appears to be a thoughtful and sincere apology has no place in an office.

Meh, I have a CS Degree.. Those numbers sound about right for my school (30:1) Male/Female. You cant complain about a disparity in a workplace if its a engineering team, and women for the most part, dont move into those areas.

But...it is nothing. She’s made a mountain out of a molehill. Hell, I’ve had worse banter than this with the females in my office, and THEY started it. No, this is someone being super touchy and looking for an excuse. The guy apologized, and she still went off on a tirade. I’m not defending apple, or their employees,…

This. People need to stop being so overly sensitive about nonsense in this world. Geez.

This is ridiculous. I’m seriously starting to hate living in this world. Bad things happen to all kinds of people, some are worse then other but everyone could claim its personally the worst thing on Earth for them. I’m surprised how much the Apple employee apologized over it instead of saying something stupid like…

I seriously can’t tell if this article is satire. The woman “Danielle” sounds like a complete narcissist who absolutely refuses to accept a sincere apology multiple times, climbs leaps and bounds above the chain of command to the CEO of the company, gets a month paid leave, and comes back expecting what exactly? Did…

yup. the ptsd triggers part mad eme laugh. I am 100000% for women who feel uncomfortable in the work place for valid reasons, and this may not be the whole story, so I don’t want to say she sucks, but if this is the only incident, or this is how it usually plays out, this woman strikes me as the mom at the PTA who…

Gunning straight for that HR settlement no doubt. I read it more as a pop culture reference joke than a rape joke.

I feel no pity for this woman. Not once in the chat log was there anything alluding to rape, just the song. The rape portion of the song wasn’t even what they were joking about. The guy apologized MULTIPLE times, and yet she still felt the need to email Tim Cook (who by the way won’t read this petty crap anyways…

When I hear the word, I always think of the Evil Cartman episode of South Park where Cartman keeps saying Hella

Nope...that honor has been taken
