I find it hard to imagine they will go out of their way to reinstate Monica, even though all parties are in tacit agreement that she was wronged. Reinstating her would mean having to deal with cognitive dissonance and scrutiny from the media, which SO seems to want to avoid.

@DonThousand The same that was started by bad-mouthing Monica in the press?

@IsmaelMiguel True, I'm not defending their actions, but they realized very soon that the media isn't their friend.

They have probably thought that the legal resolution meant that the issue with Monica was resolved. It wasn't, obviously, because the community is not composed of lawyers, but of human beings. Rather, the legal arrangement simply closed off even more avenues to actually fix the problem. Trust can only be regained slowly over time, and only if SE demonstrates that they are no longer the same company that made those ridiculous and unprofessional decisions. I hope Teresa is evidence of a commitment to a new direction, and not just a distraction or sacrificial lamb.
