Neither. Hiring is done a thousand different ways involving both genders (and sometimes involving those who don't care to be classified by binary genders). Which group may be in the majority depends upon location and industry and even on the way hiring works; in some cases direct report has 100% control, in some cases direct report has 0% control and HR has all of it.
- harryh 11y agoIf you don't think that men are currently making the vast majority of hiring decisions for programmers in the US right now then you are simply unaware of what's going on in the world.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoI quote myself from another post. >I also detect a 'for programmers' added in that wasn't present before... Also, 'no you're wrong' isn't going to get us anywhere.
- tptacek 11y agoAlso a disingenuous argument, as the thread is rooted in an argument about hiring programmers.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoOdd. See the original article is a discussion of needing people skills for the best jobs, and the branch that started this comment chain was based on someone calling out one gender for rigging the system, to which my only response was to ask if the other gender does not do the same. Programming was not the primary focus here and keeps being brought up to try to prove a claim that wasn't ever actually disagreed with, but which I just asked a question to give some equality to.
