HR departments that are willing to rubber-stamp friend-of-a-friend hiring practices. In many sections of the business world it's still a case of who you know (or who you blow) can get you hired, and this goes doubly so in the SJW-infested world of RPG publishing. Once the wokies took over the HR departments it became even easier to for them to herd the followers of the narrative into positions of power - where said followers then proceeded to be just as massive a POS as they were out in the real world, only worse because now they were in a position of power. Someone gets an allegation thrown against them and has to dip out? HR slow-walks the investigation while the accused finds a new job elsewhere, or they dig up enough dirt on the accuser to be able to shit-can them and bounce them out of the company for violations of employee handbook rules.
Just remember, HR isn't there to protect you, the worker. It's there to protect the company from you.
Because they figure if they can shuffle the deck chairs fast enough then nobody will notice that the ship is sinking. Sure, their shitty behavior eventually catches up to them, but they can keep calling out to "pay no attention to the (wo)man behind the curtain" for a while, and sometimes they can get away with it and things will blow over. In this case, her shit had already hit critical mass and they can't hid her any longer. Chances are good she'll quietly disappear for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, and then pop back up on the radar at another company after making some sort of nonpology over her previous behavior.
