- 1123581321 6y agoThis misconduct happens regardless of the demographics. It just depends on how much abuse and vitriol management allows and encourages.
- jjeaff 6y agoMy point was that i find it laughable that any white man will have a hard time getting a job in the tech industry because he is white considering there isn't a tech company i have ever known that wasn't mostly white guys working there. Maybe wait until white guys make up less than 75% of the workforce in your industry before you start complaining about descrimination.
- treeman79 6y agoIt’s more that I was required to join in the hatred. Staying quiet on identity politics and just focusing on the tech stack got me into trouble with management.
- 1123581321 6y agoIt seems worth complaining about abuse regardless of the ability to leave.
- jleyank 6y agoMight want to qualify this statement to take those whose ages start with a 4, 5 or even a 6 into consideration. Or are these people already invisible?
- jjeaff 5y agoThat would be age discrimination, not discrimination based on being a white male.
- treeman79 6y agoYes. Even counting the various non binary white males. Some wore dresses, so maybe they don’t count. Hiring was based on race and sex. This was company policy. They put money were there mouth was and hiring a TON of fresh out of college JR’s. Only had a couple of senior people and they were very overwhelmed. Product was in bad shape because of it, which is how I came in.
