I'm sorry, but I don't see the issue. I continue to see article after article about women not being in the tech space, but being in corp. tech for over 10 years - outside of larger conservative tech companies such as IBM, the issue isn't that women cannot obtain advancement but more so of the ratio of woman/men in the tech sector.
Should I be upset that when I go for my checkup, that I see primarily Asian doctors? Are they getting greater advancement because they are Asian? Or it is the fact that 1 segment of the population has a larger number entering that space?
"Her male bosses told her she'd built it without permission. Then they said only architects within the company could pitch features — and all the architects were male."
^^ As a white male, I had recently done this in my job and was told the same. Our protocol as that we are required to request permission prior to developing new features. This is not uncommon.
"It's why the industry is so eager to hire women and minorities. For decades tech companies have relied on a workforce of whites and Asians, most of them men."
facepalm
Really? Where are the women who are crying out for equal rights? As a white male, I would assume companies would seek the best that they could find, rather than seek to locate a segment of the population that is less inclined to enter the tech space.
This is just a poorly written article to draw in readers, and a few instances of people that had bad experiences in their own workplace rather than industry facts.
We are have bad experiences in life and work, regardless of our sex, age, race, or religion. While I am not saying that it does not happen, I am saying that this is a "junk" piece created for readership that is pro woman man slapping.
