That question is best fielded to the blog author; it’s a primary source speaking from her personal point of view but it sure does correlate with a lot about the Kayla Mae case last year or so, where another WMF staffer sued the organization for workplace bullying and wrongful termination.
Similar to the first blog post, it focuses heavily on feelings and barely mentions specific accusations. Closest thing it comes to is this:
Among other things, her supervisor asked her inappropriate questions about her sexual identity and inquired about her medical history.
An initial internal investigation ultimately determined that her supervisor’s actions were “inappropriate” and a violation of the organization’s policy, Mae said, but it was unclear what actions were taken against him.
That’s it. “Inappropriate questions.” No examples of questions, or the setting involved when those questions were asked. Leaves me to use my imagination to guess if the situation was truly inappropriate or not, and how bad. Reminds me of a bad review where they say something like “The waiter was so incredibly rude. Ruined our day.” where the the lack of detail makes it a pretty useless review.
The actual lawsuit text would contain more info. I suppose I could look that up. But those are the details I’m looking for and I’m not seeing it in this article.
Unfortunately unless I want to pay for the court filings, all I can see is the original complaint. They went to mediation in January and settled in March. Beyond that I can’t say much.
