Pinterest discrimination: is the company this bad?
The woman COO of Pinterest who was fired shared some pretty heavy stuff:
- Only female C-level at the comany
- She was the only C-level to have 10-20-30-40% vesting, everyome else had 25-25-25-25% (and she only found this out due to the S1-filing). Oh, when hired she was told that all execs have the same backdated vesting. Actually, just her.
- Only C-level to have taken a company public, yet only C-level not invited to the roadshow with the excuse that “someone needs to hold the fort” (while the boys who have never done this have fun, I’m adding)
- Only C-level to be excluded from board meetings
- Her performance reviews did not mention business results, but focused on her being too “combatative”
How did this even happen at a comany with 70% female user base? How is it remotey okay? Does the Pinterest CEO and C-level have this clear of a beef with anyone who is not a white dude like they all are?

This comes off the back of black people sharing how there is a “den of discrimination” at Pinterest: https://wapo.st/39G2yge
People working at Pinterest: what do you do think? Does this refect the day-to-day? And is it really a thing for women to have different (worse) equity vesting to men at Pinterest??

Also, another post revealed something about the chronology of events that employees are overlooking. The examples of new directs that the company is saying were given the same backloaded vesting schedule to discredit FB’s claims were hired AFTER FB logged complaints that she was misled and unfairly given an unfavorable backloaded vesting schedule. It’s not a crazy notion that the company could’ve done this to protect themselves because it does look really strange that at the time of her hiring and given the criticality of her role, she was f***ed with her vesting vs. her male peers.
