I'd say she's unfit for an HR position, and I would not recommend him for a ceo position, but other than that .. It was an affair, not a mass murder. Both paid their dues. They should get the chance to go on with their lives. "let him without sin throw the first rock".

"I was the most maligned HR manager in HR history"

Honey, you're someone who cheated on her husband with your boss. The HR manager part is incidental.

It's weird that she thought going to a reporter to write a pity piece was her next step out of this rather than just doing nothing and fading back into obscurity. Who was still thinking of this lady?

She can afford a therapist to talk about it.

Oh no, is life hard? Stop being a shitty person and the universe will return the vibes

Remember folks, HR, is not your friend, they’re friend is the Company.

Oops, welp, guess they’re noone's friend now.

These two lines stuck out to me:

"I think as a woman, as women always do, I took the bulk of the abuse. People would say things like I was a 'gold-digger' or I 'slept my way to the top', which just couldn't be further from reality," she said.

...and...

"Women were the cruellest critics, she told the New York Times, with all of the in-person bullying, plus most of the phone calls and messages coming from women."

I take these two statements to mean that she's saying women were the source of most of the abuse she's receiving. Am I reading that right or is there an assumption of a larger, unmentioned, method of abuse besides phone calls and she's receiving?

I found this interesting:

"I think as a woman, as women always do, I took the bulk of the abuse. People would say things like I was a 'gold-digger' or I 'slept my way to the top', which just couldn't be further from reality," she said.

Ummm. Yeah.

The irony is not lost on me
