🙋🏽‍♀️ 25 years in tech too. This resonates so much. The only thing I cling to is that progress is never linear and the things I was subjected to early in my career will never happen again (it seems so surreal to think of how I was treated and just accepted it!)

True, I also think that some things that happened back in the day wouldn't fly today DEI or not. Thankfully society as a whole has moved on and changed. #metoo had a a big impact even if we're not at the end of the road

Oh yeah. The p@rn one guy used to play in an attempt to put me off my game when I was making cold calls (I was in sales) and making provocative faces at me and the rest of “the boys” thought it was hilarious. My god.

Really enjoyed this. I don’t think enough people realized how the ball was dropped on DEI during the pandemic and in Elon’s, case scapegoated 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's becoming really obvious now. I hope it doesn't get too bad before the pendulum swings back in the other direction

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you find something better to do with your live. The field doesn't seem to be improving unfortunately and a lot of women prefer to leave for their sanity. 🤗
