Nooooo.... this is NOT a good thing. The good thing would have been PlayHaven reinstating the fired person, and everyone apologizing to each other for bad behavior.

Firing is NOT the answer for such minor transgressions. Yes, there were mistakes on both sides, but to lose your job over it is a huge overreaction from HR. Perhaps the DDoS should've been directed at PlayHaven for overreacting and not SendGrid?




From the beginning, this whole story has been one overreaction followed by another. It's just getting uglier and uglier as time goes on.

The whole thing has set back gender relations in tech by 20 years, IMO.
