I was hoping to come to Blind and find the inside scoop on any info, or at least opinions, from inside GitHub. The other thread has a lot of discussion among people at other companies instead, so I wanted to create a new thread.

Ideally, top-level replies should only be from people with GitHub next to their name.

    The whole thing could have been avoided with proper interviewing and hiring. GH has zero clue how to interview. The company hired a SJW with strong opinions and it didn't work out. Shocker. Do I believe everything in the article? No. The tone of the article suggests that the world is out to get this person and life isn't fair but should be. Breaking news! Life isn't fair and the world isn't out to get you. I would take the article with a grain of salt for sure.

    As a long time employee (before/after Coralline), I had the “opportunity” to interact with Coralline personally as well as via slack channels. Coralline was an extremely difficult and aggressive co-worker. In her post, she takes a lot of credit for work products that she didn’t do here. She spent excessive amounts of time on #women and other slack channels to search for issues to jump on.

    I witnessed the interaction with the female Data Science employee on Slack. It was very rough, public and slightly unhinged. Coralline liked to “lash-out” at people and never tried to view these as “teaching” moments. She never held herself to any standards that she wanted to be treated by. I have zero tolerance for hateful behavior— regardless of the person it’s directed at.

    For the record (and purposely left out of blog to mislead you), her manager was a transgender woman and her skip level was a WoC. This department is extremely diverse by tech standards. Also, she was a Nicole Sanchez recruit and heavily protected by her. Net- it took an act of Congress to term her and many people tried to help Coralline be successful before separation.

    TL;DR- Coralline was terminated for her lack of performance & horrible approach with co-workers. The blog post is sour grapes from someone unwilling to take personal accountability.
