I don't know... I feel like putting her into that position exposed her to a lot of negative energy that she may not have necessarily received in the first place.

If I personally was the brunt of all that crap, it would definitely get to me personally - so while I appreciate the company's approach ideologically I think emotionally it might've done more psychological damage to her in the long run.

As a woman who has endured a standard helping of sexist toxicity in the workplace, I'd much rather front-load it like this rather than be surprised that my department hired yet another jerk.
