Whoosh.

The point is that in a highly-publicized, highly-politicized case like this, attorneys will smell blood in the water. There are ways, if the company decides to tread the thin red line of when personal actions begin and employer duties end, to make this go away quietly. The HR equivalent of a public execution is not one of them.
