Silicon valley gender lawsuit continues - Business - NZ Herald News

Silicon valley gender lawsuit continues - Business - NZ Herald News: "With more than a week to go before jurors consider a verdict in this case that's come to symbolise how women are treated in the tech hubs of Silicon Valley, the outcome will likely turn on the very simple concept of whether they believe Pao's claim she's a victim, or Kleiner's contention she's an opportunist.

Pao is asking the jury to find that she was subjected to a sexually charged atmosphere, preyed on by male colleagues and ultimately denied a promotion because she's a woman.

Kleiner denies discriminating or retaliating against Pao and claims her lawsuit was financially motivated. It says she was fired in 2012 because she was hard to get along with, had no experience as an entrepreneur and lacked expertise in strategic markets for investments."
