Because it quickly becomes a witch-hunt.

It is hard enough to have a fair investigation within a proper court system and legal framework - it’s far more likely any Google process will end up as a kangaroo court than the process leading to any justice.

So you think all claims should be dismissed as false and people who are actually subjected to sexual harassment and coercion at work should have no recourse.

    Why would you think that?

    I think the majority of claims need to go into the “not really sure” bucket where they belong.

    Acknowledging this basic truth does not mean you have to then do nothing.

    • Which is why they merit investigation. For which there should be a process. Without an investigation process, what alternatives would you suggest for avoiding treating all claims as true or all claims as false?
