It's not an implicit hatred like I would have for a murderer, psychopath or a bully. No, it's a lot more nuanced than that.

It's the same type of hatred that you get when someone cuts you in line at the supermarket.

Ellen Pao Fact 1: Ellen Pao is a misogynist who spent 7 years giving ALL her female colleagues scathing reviews so they wouldn't be promoted. 12 women suffered.

Ellen Pao Fact 2: Ellen Pao is implicated in stealing $150,000,000 in a ponzi scheme, stealing from firefighters pension funds since 2007/8 with hubby Buddy Fletcher.

Ellen Pao Fact 3: Ellen Pao tried to sue KPCB fraudulently after spending SEVEN YEARS painstaking leaving one-sided paper trails to the tune of 200,000 pages

Ellen Pao Fact 4: Ellen Pao tried to blackmail KPCB into paying her 2.7 million to cover unpaid legal bills for her husband Buddy Fletcher

Ellen Pao Fact 5: Ellen Pao libeled Arnold Schwarzenegger, PROVEN FALSE in court she made up the names of people and dates of events claiming some people told her "Arnie touched someone's rear end".

Ellen Pao Fact 6: Ellen Pao defrauded reddit investors by colluding and blackmailing Yishan Wong (the last CEO) into giving her the CEO title for her court trial

Ellen Pao Fact 7: Ellen Pao is building a one-sided file on Alexis Ohanian (kn0thing) and plans to sue him/reddit as a last dash attempt to get cash

Ellen Pao Fact 8: Ellen Pao wants to use some big media event to launch a non-profit to "help women", but really to try and get cash to steal away to pay legal fees

Ellen Pao is a misogynist, the people attacking what she has done are not attacking her, but her actions. WHEN Ellen Pao claims this is sexism, she is doing a massive and expected injustice to women everywhere who face real sexism. Pretending people are attacking you for your gender and not all the manipulative and despicable things you've done is offensive to all men and women Ellen Pao, and you can't get away with it again.

Here are the sources, citations, court docs and news articles that back all this up

Here are links to the FBI and SEC crime reporting pages (one requires clicking the link twice after accept) - post them a message that "you want to see Ellen Pao investigated in role of ponzi scheme and defrauding reddit investors recently by colluding with previous reddit CEO Yishan Wong"

/r/legaladvice (or /r/bestoflegaladvice) is legit the most hilarious thing on reddit.

Like for example the dude that was told to call every divorce lawyer in town for a free consult so that his wife would be unable to divorce him because all of the lawyers in town would have a conflict of interest. That didn't really go how he expected it to.

lol you weren't kidding

quote:

Four months ago I started a rental agreement with Rent-A-Center for a living room and dining room set. I had made all my payments on time up until a month and a half ago when I was served with a deportation notice. The past month and a half have been hell for me.. But this is not the case to be discussed here. To pay for a topnotch lawyer, I pretty much sold everything I had: my car, electronics, stocks, washer/dryer and the living room and dining room set I had gotten from RAC. YES!! I know I should not have, but to me the threat of being deported is MUCH bigger than the threat of RAC. I had to get a lawyer immediately by all means necessary.
Now fast forward to the present I am dealing with the RAC workers. After countless demand letters, harassment calls and visits at my door, now they are threatening to file charges of theft against me to get me arrested. I have already explained my situation to them, that it was not my intent to keep their things without paying for them. I told them I could not return the items because I had sold them to pay for my lawyer. I explained that I would be more than happy to pay off the remaining balance and close my account once I am able to but as of right now all my money is being thrown into my deportation case.
Of course none of this matters to them. All they want is their money. My case with deportation is going to take no less than a year to settle according to my lawyer. Meanwhile RAC says they can have me arrested for theft once they file with the DA. I'm sure that process is much faster than my deportation case.
My question is.. what can I do to protect myself against RAC? Is this really felony theft and can I go to jail? Honestly RAC is the least of my worries right now. I'm being threatened with deportation for crying out loud. The only reason I'm worried now is because they told me they were going to have me arrested, and that's the last thing I need while I've got pending court dates for my deportation case.
(Note: I am not an illegal immigrant or someone who just crossed the border, so please don't assume and start with that. Thank you.)

e: also laughing at dude being mad because she "quick to use a lawyer" when she actually is a lawyer whoa big surprise she participates in lawsuits there

all of this just makes me appreciate Pao even more, I can't wait to see what else she does with Reddit

salaries should be published. privacy of salary sets up a Skinner box of poor negotiations that benefit women the least because they are perceived as pushy or bitchy by their benefactors if they actually try to get a competitive wage. this is perpetuated by an endless history of treating women like poo poo whether or not people are aware that they are doing it

if you're in the US, it is always legal to discuss salary with co-workers. It was part of a series of labor reforms, specifically the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. Employers cannot forbid you from discussing wages, benefits, hours, or any other aspects of working conditions.

ok but it's a good right to keep in mind because a lot of employers will object and are unaware of / ignore the law. If they have it written down in policy or you get them on record forbidding it, you have an easy case against them.
