As a journalist, questions are my thing. But this one is hard, as it could be framed as a way to start it within your company; or at a panel; or for an interview. Here are a few broad questions that I think we need to start with and answer immediately: - Why are different departments within a tech company (c-level, marketing, programming IT, sales, etc) experiencing this lack of diversity so differently? - Some of the "soft" (or, uh, smarmy) side of tech tends to get the bad rap for treating women like shit more than others in a tech company. Is this a truth or a stigma? If its a truth...why is this happening? - Are other people of diversity feeling similar exclusion? What is their experience like? Where are THEIR stories? - And to wrap it up... this is not a new story, or a new conversation. I'd like those at companies that have been named, that we know exclude women (and that I could even name)...why do you do this? Knowing WHY is 99% of the way to figuring out HOW we solve the problem.
