Point out the sexism.
CEO is female and product heads are male, point out the sexism
CEO is male and product heads are male, point out the sexism.
CEO is male, product heads are female. Without any more information then that, you saw sexism. Point out the issue. You are making huge leaps to conclusions that are just not supported by the information given.
- brudgers 14y agoSinofsky reported to Ballmer. His replacement(s) report(s) to Ballmer. How is a more active role by Ballmer "clearly" indicated?
- mhurron 14y agoSinofsky was President of the Windows Division. He is being replaced by two VP's. This implies a removal of one level of management, placing the CEO closer to the product team.
- brudgers 14y agoIt only places Ballmer closer to the team if one presumes that Sinofsky was not part of the team. It only implies removal of a layer of management if one doesn't see Reller and Larson-Greene as having been promoted. The appearance of Larson-Green and Reller on Microsoft's Senior Leadership Page supports my thesis. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/exec/slt.aspx https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/exec/slt.aspx
