Well I am unfamiliar with the case, but if the person is dismissed, which she says he was, based on his protests of being sexually harassed then he is entitled to a quite a bit of money in my opinion because that means the whole company pretty much ignored his problem. I have no problem with 18 mil being awarded in that case.
