This article leaves out why he was promoted. I assume he was promoted despite the discipline, not as a reward.

The article doesn’t research whether he’s reformed or still a bully. Or whether the position is important or not. These are important details.

Maybe the position is BS and doesn’t have much authority. Maybe he’s learned the error of his ways.

Without useful information this article is lame as it seems to link the suspension with the promotion.




As long as it's generating clicks, it doesn't really matter if there's a point


As a general rule, in most places, getting suspended means your career is dead. You don't get promoted immediately afterwards.


That’s what I thought too. So there seems something more here. So either they did something amazing. Or the suspension was BS. Or something.

This article is so frustrating and the author is a bit lazy, I think.


"still a bully"

Labeling someone a "bully" has become the easy way to bring a person down. There could be personal vendetta. I've read the accusations against him, and they cannot be called "bullying". Need definitive proof.


I also don’t have a feel for what people prefer to happen?

I don't really understand people attempting to tie prosperity to morality.


> The article doesn’t research whether he’s reformed or still a bully.

An adult man being a bully in a professional environment?

No one should care about him. Fire him and let him try and find a job somewhere else.


Going by this logic wouldn't Google be that job for him? The purpose of that organization is to capture mindshare, and no other priority.
