The fact that they use a pseudo scientific "Gender Decoder" is a red flag. It leads me to think Circle CI has unfair prejudices against men and masculinity in general.
By the way, "Objectives" and "driven" are neither feminine or masculine, they're just words. Can you imagine if every word in the Oxford English Dictionary had a gender classification?
- ionforce 9y agoIn this post you propose that Circle CI has unfair prejudices towards men. How did you come up upon this conclusion?
- morogop 9y ago> It leads me to think Circle CI has unfair prejudices against men and masculinity in general. This response leads me to believe that you lack basic logic skills, and that you're also a thin-skinned little snowflake who will whine about bigotry against males anytime you don't get a promotion. So, your response works perfectly. CircleCI loses a poorly-qualified (bad logic, temperamental, problematic, high-drama) employee; and you can try to find someplace else to work. Someplace you can sit with your weak little man-friends and pretend that you're all just victims of modern society. Everybody wins. Especially CircleCI.
- titanomachy 9y agoIf it's true that using "female-coded language" results in more applications from women, without reducing the number of men who apply, what's the harm? If it's not true, then I would agree that this is probably a waste of time. There's at least one peer-reviewed study (Gaucher et al, 2011) which supports the idea that these words make jobs sound less appealing to women. Do you know of a study which challenges these findings?
