I used to take naps in a toilet stall on a very dull job. It had one of those giant toilet paper rolls on the side wall, but no cover on it, so I could sit on the toilet with my head resting against the roll and go to sleep for ten minutes. One day I fell asleep for almost half an hour, and most of the time my head…
Seems like that’s the story at every large tech company. Work for any big name long enough and you walk away with scars. It’s...ungood.
To my former boss’s... uh... credit?... he never appeared to lie to himself about it. He was an old school sexist who knew precisely what he was doing, openly set his female hires up to fail (department turnover in the decade he’s been in charge has been beyond insane- when I left on my third work anniversary I had…
The Google discrimination suit should show that it’s not just older white guys who are the problem, who we have to wait to die and then the new age will arrive. Google’s average age is not old.
Where did you go after and has it been any better? Seems like a problem across the board, tbh, except in (women-coded) industries - nonprofits and maybe (but still perhaps a gap?) teaching.
It’s so infuriating! It’s also a perfect set up to facilitate studies that debunk the wage gap. Because clearly it’s just magic or personal preference that cause women and men to distribute into different job titles and of course, women always prefer the ones that pay less.
What I always wonder is how the managers who…
I don’t know how it is in Silicon Valley, but I was in finance for three years and I can tell you banking works exactly like that. There are male-coded jobs and female-coded jobs. They have identical job descriptions and identical sales goals, but the male jobs have “sales” in the title and are paid much more and…
That’s exactly what it is, one was on the “sales enablement ” ladder when the work she was doing wasn’t different than the people on the better compensated “sales” ladder. It was mainly men on the sales and women on the sales enablement. The other one with “business” and “technical” ladders seems more egregious since…
I know some very, very smart women who worked at Google. Briefly. Then they were smart enough to leave. It really is worse than you can imagine.
It turns out she wasn’t bragging that they didn’t take a government plane for their honeymoon, but complaining.
This is ESPECIALLY delightful after her instagram rant where she bragged about how they didn’t take a government plane on their honeymoon. No, tumbleweed, but you asked to. Shuddup.
If Dump can call our President illegitimate, defame him by claiming the O Admin wiretapped Dump Tower; if Dump can call Mexicans rapists, HRC “crooked” and white supremacists “good ppl”, Jemele should be able to say whatever the F she wants! Period.
so fucked. we judge the male perps by their potential future, while judging the female victims by their past. AMERICA.
Soooo please consider removing Satyrs from this, seeing as in mythology they’re notorious for non-consensual advances on females. I don’t want another sexual assaulter on a pedestal.
I voted for Gingerbread Woman because I already have food on my shirt, and I figure that means I am 50% of the way to nailing her Look.
These fuckers always seem to ignore the fact that cops target Black people and when you are looking for problems only in one group you will only find them in that group.
I’m so disappointed. This is going to make it even harder to hawk my Mothman erotica.
I don’t really understand what’s happening, but I only voted against the majority twice... so maybe I do get it.
Well let’s not bother criminals that live in trailers.
