The title is meant to be provocative clickbait. Most women I know will have the ability to choose jobs without being put off by "messaging" just as well as anyone else.
- r00fus 9y agoWhy would a woman subject themselves to a potentially hostile workplace when tons of other options abound? This piece is a complete own-goal.
- tomp 9y agoBecause they don’t support (positive) discrimination maybe..
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThey have never had female candidates apply. I'm not sure how positive discrimination would help in this case, they need to focus on outreach instead.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoIf they have no women employees now, that might be enough to scare away a female candidates in itself. I didn't read anything hostile in the post itself, it seems to be more like "this is bad, how can we do better at this?" not "we are proud we have no women employees".
- JeanMarcS 9y agoThe post have been written by a women, which happens to be employed there.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoYes: > We don’t employ any female website developers at 10 Degrees. There’s one very simple reason for that: we’ve never had any women apply for our developer vacancies. Not one. Not everyone who works for a company is necessarily a developer. The author is the company's business manager according to https://www.10degrees.uk/about/ https://www.10degrees.uk/about/. I guess I should have qualified as developer instead of employee, sorry about that.
