Some folks just don’t know when to quit.
Ellen Pao, as you’ll recall, sued VC legend Kleiner Perkins for discrimination. Before the trial, KP offered her nearly $1 million as a settlement. She refused.
She went on to lose the case. KP then presented her with a $1 million demand for legal costs, which they said would disappear if she promised not to appeal.
So now she’s appealing.
I think she embraces risk and shuns reward. It’s a strange approach.
