Kristin Cabot says she was bombarded with abusive and threatening messages after being filmed with her boss on the ‘kiss-cam’.

    I found this interesting:

    “I think as a woman, as women always do, I took the bulk of the abuse. People would say things like I was a ‘gold-digger’ or I ‘slept my way to the top’, which just couldn’t be further from reality,” she said.

    Women were the cruellest critics, she told the New York Times, with all of the in-person bullying, plus most of the phone calls and messages coming from women.

    Oops, welp, guess they’re noone’s friend now.

    I’d say she’s unfit for an HR position, and I would not recommend him for a ceo position, but other than that … It was an affair, not a mass murder. Both paid their dues. They should get the chance to go on with their lives. “let him without sin throw the first rock”.

        I can see why anger took over. Wouldn’t you be too? The world burning you down over a personal/business matter?

      “let him without sin throw the first rock”

      It’s shocking how many “religious” people have forgotten this.

        They haven’t forgotten, they just noticed that if you throw the first stone you can make it seem as though you are without sin.

      I dont think this really fits as ‘the first rock’ in the metaphor, though. We all live in a privacy-less state, where anything in public has been deemed fair game. One Perpetrated by the elites and elite adjacent.

      This isn’t casting the first stone, its picking up one of the many rocks already hurled your way and throwing it back.

    “I was the most maligned HR manager in HR history”

    Honey, you’re someone who cheated on her husband with your boss. The HR manager part is incidental.

    It’s weird that she thought going to a reporter to write a pity piece was her next step out of this rather than just doing nothing and fading back into obscurity. Who was still thinking of this lady?

    These two lines stuck out to me:

    “I think as a woman, as women always do, I took the bulk of the abuse. People would say things like I was a ‘gold-digger’ or I ‘slept my way to the top’, which just couldn’t be further from reality,” she said.

    …and…

    “Women were the cruellest critics, she told the New York Times, with all of the in-person bullying, plus most of the phone calls and messages coming from women.”

    I take these two statements to mean that she’s saying women were the source of most of the abuse she’s receiving. Am I reading that right or is there an assumption of a larger, unmentioned, method of abuse besides phone calls and she’s receiving?

      She is saying a few things.

      The first statement is saying that she believes she received the majority of the abuse aimed at the two of them (her and her boss). She is saying that she believes this to be because she’s a woman, and that women generally are criticised more than men for this kind of thing.

      The second statement is that, of the abuse she received, most of it came from other women.
