None of what she described is sexism. Even the tank top thing, maybe barely. Her manager made a good point - maybe her career isn't progressing as fast, because she dresses very casually, and people don't take her as seriously. I don't think I've ever seen a girl in tech wear a tank top (not that I would mind, just pointing it out).
- adrienne 10y agoYou probably have never seen a girl working in tech, period, given employment law. The women working in tech are generally over 18.
- zepto 10y agoYeah - males have to wear a coat and tie in order to be taken seriously in tech companies - why should it be different with women? Oh wait...
- imaginenore 10y agoAre you saying it's not true for the males? In most big corporations you're required to ear a shirt and formal pants. Some require ties.
- zepto 10y agoI don't know if it's true at Uber, but uber is not a typical big corporations and it's often not true at startups. My point is that it can certainly be sexism depending on the company in question.
