[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 561548, member: 2784"] First - Joseph should be gone - full stop. The rest is shaping up that legal costs for GT are likely going to be significant - whether over $150K or not I got no idea but could easily reach that level. Plus the internal time to get ready for trial and handling the discovery requests that are yet to come. Simply paying her out freezes the legal process and gives her no ability to go after GT or especially to initiate discovery. She has no damages as we have fulfilled the contract. Specific to the PR circus that is going on now - paying her out wouldn't have stopped all of it for sure and some from the past would have wanted to make their hurt known. But I expect several would have simply said - good, about time - and let sleeping dogs lie. As for any next job for Joseph, it was already known that we had initiated a review and she had been suspended. And it most likely was an open secret in the coaching world what she was like to deal with (note the number of transfers). So we are not liable for any next job she gets and I myself am not swayed by that argument. And finally, while it may offend some folk's sense of morality or duty to pay someone out rather than give them the for cause firing they feel they richly deserve, that happens all the time and any attempt by the AJC or anyone else to make a big deal out of it would fall flat. It is simply an economic decision to avoid protracted legal expenses and in this case cut the legs out from any potential exposure for gender bias, personal bias or anything else a weaponized discovery process may find. I have only seen reports that the payout was around $150K. If it is $700K or something like that then the economics likely change. But the AA better be cleaner than the preliminary reports/accusations from Joseph and a couple of others seem to say we are. That risk I don't know. [/QUOTE]
