Holy cow, HN. Get this less.
Hey, hiring managers: I'm a woman with 10+ years engineering experience and great references. I'm working on leaving the tech industry because this crap isn't getting better fast enough.
I'll work for literally any company that pays half decently and puts a real priority on empathic communication.
Email's in my profile. Wait, no it isn't-- I'm closing this tab and not looking back, and I definitely don't want any of these people to know my email address.
Thanks for sticking up for me.
- tnone 10y agoEmpathic is a preference, and judging from your post, one you'd apply selectively and one way. We're the people _you_ don't want to work with, because our communication style is different. Nobody's required to stick up for you, your attempts at shaming not withstanding.
- exclusiv 10y agoYour comment shows a real issue at hand - that many people are so quick to be activists that they don't even need a real story to run with it. Perhaps you've experienced some real issues in the past, but you're undermining your own (and the industry's) cause if you believe: - uninviting Douglas was justified - that the event's process in doing so was reasonable - that scheduling speakers based on their body size or religion makes any sense while at the same time chastising another religion for being affiliated with the host university - that publicly shaming event organizers because you don't have a "preference" (especially an unsubstantiated one) for another speaker is ok
