yeah, well maybe, but the victim is STILL at ebay and said nice things about her when the story was made public in June 2010. Meg has been gone since 2008. She didn't have to do that. If she was spiteful, she could have hurt Meg. And the victim's title is "senior manager for corporate and executive communications" - no doubt she takes in a lot more than that settlement every year. Settlement was 'around' $200k.

I just go bonkers when posters massage info to better fit their position - EVEN WHEN I AGREE with the position.
Victims of harassment do not have to leave the companies they sue. Why should they? Meg is gone, she's still there.
The charges were serious, and the person making them is as you said a high level manager at Ebay. Not someone just in for some cash. Ebay had to pay up for Meg's bad behavior, there is no dispute to that.
Meg and Ebay can afford the right attorneys and counselors to make it all go away, I just can't see foisting that responsibility onto the state of California, can you?
