Sexism doesn't even have to be the issue here, it's just breathtaking how unprofessional some tech presenters are.
The real solution is to be ruthless and fire or eject anyone immediately for doing as something as incredibly fucking stupid as putting sexually provocative pictures in a presentation. The level of professionalism that conveys is indescribably embarrassing.
The author of the post was way too nice. I would have stopped the presenters in the middle of their deck and humiliated them publicly in front of everyone.
Can you imagine if a presenter did this at a sales meeting at a high end client? Say a financial institution, or Google? It would be the end of their career.
- LinXitoW 15y agoI'd imagine that in the presenters' mind, this picture wasn't worse than people inserting lolcats or funny pictures into their presentation. I'm not saying it's the same, just that those creating the presentation see it so. Whether inserting reddit into presentations is an appropriate means of lightening the mood or plain immature is another discussion.
- adaml_623 15y agoI agree that the presenters probably just didn't think. And somebody said something at the end to try and make them think.
