"If they are an obvious diversity hire (HBCU + Google STEP/Microsoft Explore/etc), my standards will be extremely high. I've never passed such a candidate." "They've stolen spots from asian/white men in the past therefore I will try to make it even." (reposting with alt-text)

Woah! @discotechorg is quite the resource! A treasure trove of horrendous stories that have happened right here in our own community with our own people. Still, think it couldn't happen? Give these a read and keep watch discotech.tech/techtruths

New: Pinterest has settled a shareholder lawsuit alleging top executives enabled a culture of discrimination. As part of the settlement agreement, the company is releasing former employees from NDAs and committing $50 million to workplace reforms: nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…

There are consequences for speaking out. There are consequences for doing the right thing. But we do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. #AppleToo is about asking Apple to do better, to end systemic discrimination, abuse, and pay inequity. Do the right thing.

By my count, at least 20 tech workers have been fired for either organizing or whistleblowing in the past two years 🧵

SO SATISFYING. Amazon will soon post to all tech & warehouse workers nationwide: "WE WILL NOT discharge you for raising work-related concerns..." "WE WILL pay Maren Costa and Emily Cunningham the wages and other benefits they lost because we fired them." #ClimateCrisis #COVID

Riding my bike around Google’s campus and somebody called security on me because they didn’t believe I was an employee. Had to get escorted by two security guards to verify my ID badge 🤦🏾‍♂️

I am a program manager at #AppleMaps. I have been here for five years, and I have seen discrimination, sexism, racism, and retaliation. @Apple has done nothing about any of it. #AppleToo 1/

Not only does @fast believe that it’s okay to terminate me for reporting harassment, now they’re threatening me if I sue them. #toxictech

@EmilyKager And then there are employees on visa. They literally have no say. Nada. Employer sponsors the H1B and you have to put up or find a job and go through the painful ( and risky depending on who is in power ) process of transfer.

So, following raising concerns to #Apple about #sexism, #hostileworkenvironment, & #unsafeworkconditions, I'm now on indefinite paid administrative leave per #Apple employee relations, while they investigate my concerns. This seems to include me not using Apple's internal Slack.

I’ve never spoken about this before, but years ago at a tech after party, someone started touching me. I was scared and hid in the bathroom. There weren’t other women in the bathroom so when I came out I found the first people I knew @b3ll and @NeoNacho and we left together.

Today I had to quit a meeting after being disrespected by the Director of HR. Imagine being the director and disrespecting an employee two levels below you. I told her kindly that what she said was disrespectful and I don’t deserve it and left the meeting.

Looking for Women in Tech who HAVE NOT been featured on a podcast before to be featured on @WomenInTechShow podcast. They don’t need a following. Just being themselves is 💯 enough. LMK who comes to mind. My favorite thing is giving women a platform to shine bright. #womenintech
