Do you think that the majority of people that had their reputations tarnished and lost their jobs were re-hired later in another place of equal or higher stature?
IOW, do you really think that Damore is the exception to the rule?
I think that the bar for "had their reputations tarnished" is far higher than "rescinding an accepted offer" which is the topic of this thread.
I additionally think that trying to compare someone rescinding an offer with Damore and co is irrelevant when the actions are nowhere near equal, and therefore the reactions would also not be anywhere near the same.
The point that was being discussed was whether or not "bad reputations are hard to repair". GP argued that this is not the case and did use an example of someone who got a bad reputation and (to my understanding) has not managed to establish himself in a prestigious position as the one he had.
According to his Linkedin he's working at an undisclosed startup. Who knows what his compensation is like, but it's not as if going from Google to an early-stage startup is particularly uncommon.
