The article really doesn't change anything so the people jumping to conclusions like unfounded complaint are being stupid.
He claims he took it directly to HR not to everyone in the company. A second employee on twitter also says they had their own sexual harassment there.
In a case like this there isn't a lot that can be said or done in either direction if those employees did not keep documentation at the exact time it occurred if it did.
This is where I'm at. This doesn't hugely shift anything in either direction, and if Ballard just didn't talk to his coworkers about it than it still seems to line up. The new details, as far as I can tell, are:
- Confirmation that Ballard had a mental breakdown
- Claim that Ballard went to HR about something, although it wasn't clear what, or believed to be about something else
- None of these other people had any knowledge of Ballard being sexually harassed
- Ballard's e-mail incident, which may have been part of the mental breakdown, and got HR involved
Ballard's story isn't really supported much, but it isn't disproven, and we still have another claim that we should keep in mind.
