View submission: Reddit Chief Engineer Bethanye Blount Quits After Less Than Two Months On the Job
Blount also said she believed Pao’s exit was an indirect consequence of gender discrimination, and that Pao was on placed on a “glass cliff.” It is a term used to describe women being set up for failure by being placed in leadership roles during crisis points.
Kinda weird statement about the ex ceo

What a stupid thing to say when Pao already lost her gender discrimination case with KP.
Plenty of sacrificial scapegoats have been used in the past by all sorts of companies, pretty much all of them have been men. Just because she is female doesn't make it a gender issue, the issues were reddit's and Pao's

She seems to mean...
A) Woman cannot be leaders during difficult times
B) Reddit sabotaged itself just to hurt Pao.
C) ???
I hope she meant C, because A and B are pretty loller.

It reads like the reporter was pushing that narrative and Blount said, "Sure, whatever" but didn't want to discuss Pao publicly.
