Reminder: This is the same person that openly advised "doing something" about employees that don't fuck.

What? The Pinterest COO in question is Francoise Brougher. That link is to Ellen Pao.

But either way, she answered her own question. She was hired, constantly clamored about sexism, then was fired despite "it not being related to her performance"

I'm guessing "getting things done" and "constantly accusing your peers of sexism" are the same to her, but not to the rest of the C-suite.

Gender-based discrimination is one of Big Tech's longest-standing problems, and lawsuits are not new.

Former Reddit CEO Ellen Pao made international headlines for her 2012 lawsuit against her former firm, Kleiner Perkins, in which she alleged systematic gender discrimination.

In 2017, a group of former Google employees alleged widespread pay discrimination and sued the firm, echoing allegations the Department of Labor filed against the company.

I think I found her emoji: ?

Kleiner Perkins is a VC firm, not a tech company.

This 'journalist' is a pathological liar.

Couldn't have happened to a better bunch. Isn't Pinterest the same company that was recently exposed by Project Veritas?
