Wow. Just wow. I don't see how the camera thing (which was rather clever) excludes this girl from being funny by quitting via white board and photos. They're both pretty damned funny.
And as someone who has been through an actual job-related lawsuit before, I'll tell you that it's better just to say "fuck you" and walk away most of the time. Besides, what was she going to sue for? Being called a HPOA? Yeah, that one will fly in court... a one-off situation where it would be her word versus her boss. Great.
BTW, nice comment about her just being a HPOA. I didn't realize you actually knew the girl.

My comments have more to do with the credibility of this "story". What she just did would get her sued by a real company for slander (or would it be libel since it was written on a chalk board?). This has viral written all over it.
Ok so I'm misinformed about how sexual harassment lawsuits work. Sucks to be me. I was pretty sure in our court system that judges and juries favored what the woman says. Especially when the sexual derogation makes someone (want to) leave their workplace.
My other comment about her being an HPOA ties in with my view because I'm not going to respond seriously if I'm going to be lied to. "You go girl!"

Just like how it wouldn't be worth the time, effort, and money to bring up a sexual harassment lawsuit, it wouldn't be worth the time, effort, and money to bring up a slander lawsuit.
If real I'm sure the guy is pissed, but there wouldn't be much either of them could really do about it.

Not too sure about that. Her violation is recorded whereas his isn't. Plus, that is what companies have lawyer teams for. They get paid whether they work or not.

Even with direct evidence, it still costs a lot of time and money to take someone to court. Even assuming this place has lawyers that could take the case (which I doubt they do since it's only a 20 person company) it would still be years in court. That would be years consuming his time and his lawyers when both of their time would be better spent on other things.
Don't get me wrong, if both took their cases to court she would most definitely lose and he would most definitely win, it's just it wouldn't be worth the effort, time, and money in the end. He would either get a judgment against her that in no way pays for his and the lawyers time wasted or he would get a judgment large enough to cover that cost but she would never pay it anyways because she just couldn't.
Going to court for any of them is just a lose-lose situation all around. She gets the satisfaction of what she did and he gets the satisfaction of black-balling her with everyone he knows, that's about as far as it will ever go.
If I was her, I would be more worried about the source article finding her last name because the next time she applies for a job she will be googled and the employer will see that.

Ok, I don't know how courts work where she's from but in 'Merica the loser has to pay the winner's legal fees as well as whatever ruling was made. And if she can't pay it her credit rating would eventually be destroyed. It just doesn't make sense for a sane individual, especially one demonstrating such a so-called "clever response", to risk losing everything...again, quitting a job in this market??!? There are just too many signs that say "stupid, stupid, stupid".
Whatever, I grow weary of this "argument". If this really happened, then I applaud her for her bravery, but reprimand her for her naivete and brashness. If this didn't happen, then she's smart.
