>Things were beginning to get even more comically absurd with each passing day. Every time something ridiculous happened, every time a sexist email was sent, I'd sent a short report to HR just to keep a record going. Things came to a head with one particular email chain from the director of our engineering organization concerning leather jackets that had been ordered for all of the SREs. See, earlier in the year, the organization had promised leather jackets for everyone in organization, and had taken all of our sizes; we all tried them on and found our sizes, and placed our orders. One day, all of the women (there were, I believe, six of us left in the org) received an email saying that no leather jackets were being ordered for the women because there were not enough women in the organization to justify placing an order. I replied and said that I was sure Uber SRE could find room in their budget to buy leather jackets for the, what, six women if it could afford to buy them for over a hundred and twenty men. The director replied back, saying that if we women really wanted equality, then we should realize we were getting equality by not getting the leather jackets. He said that because there were so many men in the org, they had gotten a significant discount on the men's jackets but not on the women's jackets, and it wouldn't be equal or fair, he argued, to give the women leather jackets that cost a little more than the men's jackets. We were told that if we wanted leather jackets, we women needed to find jackets that were the same price as the bulk-order price of the men's jackets.

>I forwarded this absurd chain of emails to HR, and they requested to meet with me shortly after. I don't know what I expected after all of my earlier encounters with them, but this one was more ridiculous than I could have ever imagined. The HR rep began the meeting by asking me if I had noticed that *I* was the common theme in all of the reports I had been making, [...]

>>59023239
>>59023265
(cont.)
>[...] and that if I had ever considered that I might be the problem. I pointed out that everything I had reported came with extensive documentation and I clearly wasn't the instigator (or even a main character) in the majority of them - she countered by saying that there was absolutely no record in HR of any of the incidents I was claiming I had reported (which, of course, was a lie, and I reminded her I had email and chat records to prove it was a lie). She then asked me if women engineers at Uber were friends and talked a lot, and then asked me how often we communicated, what we talked about, what email addresses we used to communicate, which chat rooms we frequented, etc. - an absurd and insulting request that I refused to comply with. When I pointed out how few women were in SRE, she recounted with a story about how sometimes certain people of certain genders and ethnic backgrounds were better suited for some jobs than others, so I shouldn't be surprised by the gender ratios in engineering. Our meeting ended with her berating me about keeping email records of things, and told me it was unprofessional to report things via email to HR.

>Less than a week after this absurd meeting, my manager scheduled a 1:1 with me, and told me we needed to have a difficult conversation. He told me I was on very thin ice for reporting his manager to HR. California is an at-will employment state, he said, which means we can fire you if you ever do this again. I told him that was illegal, and he replied that he had been a manager for a long time, he knew what was illegal, and threatening to fire me for reporting things to HR was not illegal. I reported his threat immediately after the meeting to both HR and to the CTO: they both admitted that this was illegal, but none of them did anything. (I was told much later that they didn't do anything because the manager who threatened me "was a high performer").

>>59023383
Don't be such a whiny faggot. The bitch should politely say no thanks and just get on with her life. If he continually pesters her she should just record everything that is done and go to HR. If HR refuse to do anything she is free to file a sexual harrassment lawsuit. Otherwise it's just useless hearsay and moaning on her part.

/g/ has always derided women in tech. It's not a /pol/ exclusive thing you newfag.

>>59023571
keep telling yourself that

Shitty stock photo company has model hold the soldering iron BY THE FUCKING METAL END. Obviously this isn't someone who's actually ever soldered before, and people are gonna use this as "hurr durr women can't into STEM".

>>59023239
>Eventually he "left" the company. I don't know what he did that finally convinced them to fire him.
he ran out of people to ask out on a date. it's clearly a guy who has no personal life and only knows fellow employees

those who do it only do it once.

>>59023239
>>59023536

you don't say
yet /g/ will interpret it conveniently...
the actual retards are the ones who made the pic, photographers and marketing people, the model is there doing her job, which doesn't involve any technical knowledge about soldering and stuff
but, try teaching retards in /g/

>>59023683

So very false. Even I've soldered more than once before, end intend on doing it again!

>>59023706
why would you need to solder your hand more than once?

>>59023721
Ah, if that's what you meant, you should've worded that post better! Right now it means "those who solder only solder once".

>>59023742
glad we clarified, then.

I honestly hope that this entire situation did in fact happen.

>>59023637
You want me to keep telling myself the truth? Are you retarded?

>>59023655
>Obviously this isn't someone who's actually ever soldered before, and people are gonna use this as "hurr durr women can't into STEM".
It has been used for that exact purpose. Fun fact, that stock photo company did the same photo shoot with a dude, holding the soldering iron the exact same way. I've worked as someone who has staged several different things. We rarely, if ever, consider the actual implications of what we're doing beyond "does this look good?"

A few years ago I staged an apartment and in the bathroom I put a candle on top of a towel. Looked nice and surely no one would read too much into it, right? Wrong. Real estate agent lit the candle, which set fire to the towel, burning the bathroom and causing an evacuation of a fourteen story apartment building. People are idiots.

>>59023239
Uber is a terrible company, sure.

But is a guy hitting on a girl a reason to fire him?
If he said, "have sex with me or you are fired", then sure, but if you are close enough to talk about how his wife is cheating on him, then you should be able to say no if you don't want to be with the cuck.

You have to be a pretty worthless human being for working as a gypsy driver in the first place, but if you then also have to attempt to pick up other gypsies? The cuckness of this is unbelievable.

Mansplaining. The women at the company clearly feel the threat, even if it's never spelled out overtly, so there would be no hard evidence. This devious gaslighting tactic is how men keep oppression hold on women.

They can't file a class lawsuit either, because guess what, majority (80%) of lawyers are men, not to mention this is not technically a divorce where one might have a fair shot.

>>59023637
Not that guy but /g/ has always hated women and blacks and indians and non americans andelectric cars and renewable energy and energy saver lightbulbs and basically anything that isn't the way it's always been. For a technology board, /g/ really hates change and innovation.

>>59023880
>You have to be a pretty worthless human being for working as a gypsy driver in the first place
So you didn't even bother reading the summary OP posted then. Why are you giving your opinion if you're very clearly not informed?
>>59024168
>so there would be no hard evidence
Apparently you didn't read shit either.

>>59024178
>For a technology board, /g/ really hates change and innovation
/g/ is a tech board, but it's hoarded by programmers. Programmers have an extremely high chance of being autistic, and autists don't like anything that deviates from the pattern they're used to. so with this pattern, even non-autists begin to follow this trend and it spirals.

>>59024168
>Mansplaining

Hahahaha holy shit did you just unironically say that? Kill yourself, bitch

>>59024220
I did. The brave women fought hard until the company eventually recognized the thread of enabling a rapist.

But why the ad hominems? Are you trying to imply something else? Perhaps that my feeble woman mind can't comprehend english text and the story is entirely different, yet you refuse to explain it? Are you trying to avoid being overt again, you sexist pig?

>>59024168
>mansplaining
Troll thread, everybody.

>>59024220
are you saying there is some way that working for a gypsy driver company makes them better people?
I am not a fan of public transportation, regular taxis or gypsies, but it doesn't matter what part of the company they work for, it is a shitty company providing a shitty service for shitty people.
If all uber employees and all uber customers died tomorrow, nobody would care beyond to see if it would affect real people.

>>59024325
Still, beats daily githubinaction reposting anytime, those are getting pretty stale.

>>59024312
>But why the ad hominems?
So you don't know what an ad hominem is either.
>yet you refuse to explain it?
I will direct you to the one part of your other post that I quoted and then to reread the summary that OP has posted. Beyond that, your post is irrelevant bluster.
>>59024337
>are you saying there is some way that working for a gypsy driver company makes them better people?
What? That has nothing to do with anything here. Also, where the fuck are you getting gypsies from? What have you been smoking? Do you have any of it left? Can I try some? It must be strong shit.

Knew this would be at the top on hn

>>59024412
uber is a gypsy cap service.

/g/ also defends managers and HR, just so they can justify their shitty opinions

So no factual discussion then, just indirect implication that I'm dumb. You sure you don't have the definitions of ad-hominems mixed up?

>>59024470
I refuse to read that site, but am curious about their stance. White knights ringing their armors, or /g/-tire?

What if the guy was trying to get fired. You know if you leave willingly you lose your vest so only way to leave while keeping your vest is to get fired.

>>59024605
That, but I'd throw in also a cut from sales of Cloud-Ready Microclouds everybody must be aching to buy and read now.

I'm not particularly proud of how 4chan shaped the nature of viral marketing in 2017.

>>59024605
you mean he had been trying to get fired for months if not years?
also, did you read the part where HR hid his behavior for a long time? what about the part where one of the directors all the 6 women they would not have the leather jackets they were promised?

>>59024496

I think lot of the /g/ would kill for job at Uber or any other high value bleeding edge of technology company. Maybe they are stuck at a third world country, in their parents basement with no higher education never seen a vagina.
Then you have some woman working at Uber with her successful career publishing book and all. She even is offered sex, for free. Doesn't seem like a big deal.

>>59024312
tits or gtfo

>>59024570
>So no factual discussion then
There would be if you addressed the error in your earlier post that I pointed out but instead you're complaining about things that never happened.
>just indirect implication that I'm dumb.
So far you're the only one implying that but I'm starting to warm to the idea.

You must be new here.

Anonymous message boards work best when you don't establish an identity, that way they stay anonymous. When you share things about yourself (i.e. sex) you actually distract from the conversation at hand.

Common mistake, lurk more :>)

>>59024789

Uber is the taxi equivalent of microsoft, aol or even paypal in their boom years. Their strength is not technology, but their AT FULL FORCE push for it.

The blatant disregard for existing taxi service/city permit deals, work contracts and so on. Basically they're the best because they have the sharpest elbows, their technology just follows demand of their market expansion.

Some people might want to work in such conditions, but I guarantee you, working for a "fast corporation" like this one is one time, incredibly dehumanizing experience. You're there to merely support their system, but never allowed to truly become part of it. There are far better places to wageslave in. I'll take redhat or google anytime over microsoft.

What a shit HR department.
If someone is making unwelcome sexual advances in a workplace, they should be warned. If they continue, they should be fired. Regardless of gender, position, or qualification.

A workplace should be free from those types of interaction. Go on tinder asshat. We are here to work, not deal with your sexual frustration.

The jackets thing was pretty stupid too. I'd like to think that fat men were able to get jackets, despite the fact that they would be more expensive than extra small ones.

I voted republican in 2 of the last 3 elections, don't believe in the wage gap, and this still seems inappropriate to me.
