Serious questions for Paul Graham, or others defending this guy:
1) What should the women who work under him do? Accept performance evaluations from him and have their livelihoods screwed with? He literally published how much contempt he has for them.
2) Would you expect men to stick around working under female leadership like that? If some leader referred to me as "useless baggage", why would I work hard for that person? Why waste energy proving that I'm not "full of shit", when I can get paid a great salary working somewhere else. If his leadership is so bad that people will leave the organization to avoid working with him, why is he even selected to be a leader in that organization? He already failed the "ability to lead" part.
- dnissley 5y agoI've worked under several women who have let it be known that they detested the particular archetype of the "techbro". Yeah, they didn't go and write a book about it, but even if they had I'm not sure if I'd really care unless they made it a persistent theme in the workplace by either constantly bringing it up, or worse, insinuating that I am a bad person to the degree to which I embody that archetype. So long as you don't do those things, I can work with you pretty much no matter how much you run your mouth outside of work. I think we don't know enough about Antonio to really say whether he'd be that person or not, but considering he's been in leadership positions for a long time without any notable incidents brought to light I'm leaning towards giving him the benefit of the doubt that he knows how to conduct himself in the workplace.
