I hate to pile on, but I listened to the podcast OP linked above. It doesn't make the situation sound any better. It is worse, actually. OP is tone deaf going on this podcast talking about the toxic, racist, misogynistic culture with seemingly no awareness of his contribution to it.
- that_guy_iain 2y agoI think his experience of racism and "shitboy" may have desensitised him to the whole thing. He was there for years before I joined and honestly, it was meant to be better then and had a bunch of work on the culture but it was still pretty shitty. I remember once I semi-joked "You guys talk about a culture problem in IT, it sounds like you have a Tejas problem" and he generally looked like he felt bad about it.
- tejaskumar_ 2y agoI did feel bad about it. I'm glad you said that, and I'm thankful for how it made me feel. It is exactly that feeling that continued to inspire growth and change. No doubt, I feel it again as people continue to pile on here. This is really good, because it will inspire even more growth, and more positive change.
- trogdor 2y agoI have to say, I like your attitude now. At least the way it comes across here.
- tejaskumar_ 2y agoThanks! I'm doing my best.
- tejaskumar_ 2y agoThank you for this callout. I will re-listen, reflect, and grow from this. I will be better.
