Disgusting that he just walked away from Homie like nothing happened and showed up at Hitch months later. No accountability.

Resigning doesn’t erase what he did. The damage was already done — to her, to the company, and to everyone who trusted him.

You don’t get to call yourself a leader and then proposition job seekers. That’s not just wrong, it’s predatory.

Homie.mx’s reputation took a hit, but did they ever address the internal culture that enabled this?

How does someone accused of sexual harassment land another leadership role so quickly?

Can't believe someone like him got another job so fast. Tech industry really don’t care about ethics, huh?
by: Samuel Richardson
When the CEO himself is accused of harassment, it says a lot about the company culture. The fact that he just moved on to another high-level position proves that the industry doesn’t care about ethics.

Another example of the “boys’ club” protecting its own, while victims get silenced.
