> Last year, the sales director accessed these cameras to take photos of female workers, then posted them in a Slack channel called #RawVerkadawgz alongside sexually explicit jokes. The incident was first reported by IPVM and independently verified by Vice.
damn that is despicable but this sort of brogrammer behavior appears rampant. How would you address this as a manager? This is absolutely not okay.
- 46Bit 6y agofire for cause, file a police report depending on what the photos are, and support the victims
- mcv 6y agoNot what they did, mind you. The culprits merely got their stock options reduced. And the fact that the sales manager could access the camera feed may have been a big hint that security was not their biggest priority.
- ALittleLight 6y agoYou think their sales director is also a programmer? What's the point of combining "programmer" and "bro" like this?

- ALittleLight 6y agoYou use a portmanteau of programmer to refer to people who aren't programmers? Seems like this is just the wrong pejorative to use in this case.
- vineyardmike 6y agoIt could be a programmer. I think the origin comes from bro-y men around 2005 moving to silicon valley (eg zuck in that movie) but then having a very frat-culture vibe (eg. lots of booze, house parties but with programming, etc). It grew to be anyone silicon-valley and tech-adjacent that acted like this.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoYou're right, it "appears" rampant with quotes. It really isn't. The world is a big place and such solacious news because almost instantly popular (because internet) even though it's a 1 in a million thing.
