The harrassment was more than just calling them nasty names

Being called nasty names online is just par for the course (for women, probably for POC, nonconforming genders, as well) BUT the heavy penalties were for sending them physical objects, trying to smear their reputations or interfere with their livelihoods, threats of every sort of harm. If they can prove that their work supervisors knew about, encouraged or abetted it, that whole department of the company needs to get removed.
