"Among other things, she said she'd been attacked on Blind, an anonymous workplace app." Discuss. Updated link: www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/01/17/facebook-manager-quits-after-being-harassed-over-views-on-diversity.html
To me the problem are the Facebook people who attacked her, not Blind itself. If Facebook employees weren’t transphobic then transphobic comments wouldn’t come up.
Exactly. Now I’m wondering what’s in facebook’s blind channel 🤔 Edit: now that I’ve read the rest of this post I’m not sure if it’s just FB but blind’s toxicity at play in general.
Too bad she’s not a conservative - we all would have heard about this and she’d have a book deal with a right-wing publishing company. “B-b-b-but tech is a liberal echo chamber”
Who the fuck even cares about Sophie Alpert or her views on diversity.
Sounds anti-trans to me
^ playing hate card. Could be a fresh snowflake
It just shows that tech is not as liberal as it wants to be
I would add, how radical leftist want it to be. It’s TOTALLY Ok to hear opinions different from yours (in this case hi.. hers), it is called free speech as I recall.
I think that I’m getting tired of people claiming it’s harassment to disagree with their incessant pushing of their political beliefs into company affairs. Worth noting that nobody requires you to be on Blind. If anyone was legitimately harassing this person they are in the wrong but I can almost guarantee you this was not harassment, and rather people objecting to *yet another* political push from the left in tech.
People attacked her on the fact of being trans, not on her opinions (but likely because). https://us.teamblind.com/s/hwUCERDo
You’d probably feel differently if I figured out your name, then started attacking you based on what makes you, you. Are you a woman? Blind users have some words for that. Indian? Get ready for you know what. LGBT? How about some coded speech aimed at your wellbeing. Everything is just “hurr durr just don’t open the app” until it’s about you, not your anonymous handle. PM me your name and let’s test it
"Facebook, like most of its Silicon Valley peers, is mostly male and very white" Since when did Asians become white?
> Facebook's diversity has been improving, but the company is still largely white and male. 🤣they’re not even trying to be subtle about this anymore
Honestly it's a tech problem overall. But I agree that at some companies its worse than others.
*sarcasm:on Why only tech? How about firefighters? Or maybe miners? Or soldiers? Maybe let’s force diversity there too? *sarcasm:off
Sounds like we should get rid of this pasty white guy
It would be a start at getting rid of all bosses.
But Data is my favorite character.
