Barely a story, devoid of proper information. Microsoft has 125 employees world wide, they would never risk a PR nightmare by going too soft on a proper investigation.
>108 complaints of sexual harassment
>119 complaints of gender discrimination
"Out of all of the claimed instances of gender discrimination, Microsoft’s internal investigation only found that one such complaint was “founded.” [...] yet ERIT still perplexingly found that the behavior did not rise to the level of a policy violation."
The real evidence, if there is any, will be locked behind the court case until it finishes and a proper verdict is reached. Until then articles like these only fuel baseless allegations in the current #metoo climate.
Communists had a very good way to keep sexualization from happening: force a unisex dress code and haircut to everyone and forbid all forms of make up, perfumes and other tools used for attraction.
If workplace sexualization and romance is a big issue, there is no reason to not follow something similar.
Women seem to want to use their sexuality to gain favors, while at the same time expecting not to be sexualized when they don't want to. You can't have it both ways.

That’s missing a “thousand” before “employees”, right?
