Submission + - Ellen Pao drops appeal of her gender discrimination suit (washingtonpost.com)
McGruber writes: Jeff Bezo's newspaper is reporting (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2015/09/10/ellen-pao-is-walking-away-from-her-gender-discrimination-appeal/) that Ellen Pao is dropping her appeal of the gender discrimination suit she lost against her former employer, venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers( http://www.kpcb.com/).
Pao sued KPCB in 2012, claiming that women were not given fair consideration in the male-dominated workplace. She also said that a male colleague with whom she had an affair unfairly cut her out of e-mail correspondence and upper management did nothing about it. She was fired soon after filing her suit. After a bruising month-long trial in which her personal character and work performance were repeatedly brought into question, a jury of six men and six woman ruled that there was no evidence of gender discrimination.
