I suspect working in an Eastern Europe satellite office far more regressive than your typical US west coast office. Not that it makes it either minor or acceptable, just... different.
- myth_drannon 8y agoYes, it's pretty much very common. You need to attach your photo with a resume as well when applying to a job.
- idlewords 8y agoMy cousin works in tech in Poland and I get the impression from her that workplace culture is changing rapidly to a more "international" style where this kind of behavior is not acceptable. Then again, she may not tell me the worst stuff. I would love to hear from people on the ground about their experience, and whether that's true across other tech workplaces in central and eastern europe.
- dantondwa 8y agoThis is my (anecdotal) experience. I work in Poland and I have seen multiple cases of behavior in the workplace that I would have never considered to be acceptable. Here, most often, they're done in public just shrugged upon. And really, being a southern European, it is not that before coming here I was used to the highest standards of gender equality. I just have the impression sexism and cases of sexual harassment at the work place are much more common here.
