There was something about female academics who were intimidated at work/hounded out of jobs, not sure if people had sent examples to Kathleen Stock. Did have a brief look, will keep looking today.

There was a poster recently who had been complained about by a colleague for putting something on SM. Pulled for potentially being recognisable. Hope they see this.

Yes kathleen stock wrote a medium piece compiling anonymous accounts. Some will fit this criteria I'm sure.

I wonder if they will cover people who have been called in to hr, but ultimately not disciplined. I think complaints to employers are not always really trying to get someone sacked. The aim is for the person to be pulled in for a meeting, or to be 'under investigation' for their opinions. That's the punishment in itself, and has the effect of shutting them up and shutting up other people too.

I was the poster complained about. I wasn't actually discipined in the end, just spoken to by HR. But I might contact them anyway. Like @Manderleyagain says. it's had the effect of shutting me up to a great extent.
