Can you tell me where Damore is working now, and how it compares in terms of prestige and compensation compared to Google?
IOW, do you really think that Damore is the exception to the rule?
I additionally think that trying to compare someone rescinding an offer with Damore and co is irrelevant when the actions are nowhere near equal, and therefore the reactions would also not be anywhere near the same.
The point that was being discussed was whether or not "bad reputations are hard to repair". GP argued that this is not the case and did use an example of someone who got a bad reputation and (to my understanding) has not managed to establish himself in a prestigious position as the one he had.
Shrug. I could be wrong, I'm terrible at these things sometimes.
