How many women actually get to attend GHC every year. I am an experienced engineer in Walmart and I never get to attend the conference. From what I know the number of engineers who attend the conference is extremely small. How is Walmart promoting #womenintech when they can’t even sponsor their employees to attend conferences like GHC?
Obviously they CAN, they just don’t.
Tickets to GHC are like $800, why so high
It’s expensive I guess. I got to go and eBay paid for my flight, hotel, ticket, and even gave me a large daily meal stipend
Lol OP, you're working at Walmart. What did you expect? You know how the situation is internally.
That’s true :(
Yes they ask the managers to sponsor but I hardly see any of my colleagues getting selected
I'm a senior sde on my team and my management approved for us to go.
"How is Walmart promoting #womenintech when they can’t even sponsor their employees to attend conferences like GHC?" Talking about entitlement. Why doesn't my company pay 3-4k for my vacation (entrance, flight, nice hotel, meals, social) and pretend that I'm working, so I don't need to use actual vacation days?
^^^ Height of ignorance 👌👌🙌🏻🙌🏻
TC?!?!?!
With you on this, hardly a handful of women from Cisco go as well.
