- Had my life ruined for years I was working at my first job out of college and my team lead was an unpleasant guy with an ego but everyone seemed to like him. My colleagues were always engaging in banter with him and he was popular and decently good looking. I tried really hard to be nice and social towards him. The company cul
- Dealing with Harassment -- asking for a friend I have a friend working at a larger tech company and she told me about some issues she's facing dealing with some guy coworkers who basically shamed her for some of her pictures on her instagram, basically insinuating she was a slut for dressing the way she does....Does this happen at any other comp
- Ugh, can we all just agree to use condoms? Hung out w a guy for the 5th time last night. After making out for a while I said “I want you,” next thing I know, he’s in me - w/o a condom. I wasn’t even fully undressed- still had underwear on. The second I noticed, I pushed him out of me, told him I felt violated, asked why he didn’t use one. He
- Told to not post on Blind and go to HR instead Anyone on here been told not to post on Blind? There’s a sexual harassment problem where I work and they told us not to post about it on Blind and they are monitoring what we post. Is this even legal to not allow employees to speak out or post publicly about sexual harassment in the workplace?
- International Women’s Day - let’s call out the fakers I’ll start. Hootsuite. I have kept quiet for a long time about my very negative experience working for Hootsuite but having recently seen someone else go very public about her own experiences of discrimination and then after having been let go finding her face used on their website to promote divers
- Terrified. I spent a lot of time today reading dozens of #metoo posts and all the comments. I must admit, I was not familiar with this issue very much, so I was rather appalled to discover all the nasty crap that some posters had to deal with. What was way more eye opening, though, is the level of stupidity i
- Why I’m leaving my husband My husband and I are both engineers for different large tech companies. We met early on in college and were each other’s first real relationship. We got married a couple years after we graduated and it’s something I wish I had not done. There was family pressure from his and mine and it was almost
- As a female software engineer how do you assure your male co-workers you are not a "risk" to work with? Many men in the workplace are showing new aversions to working with female employees. As a software engineer this worries me as many of my male co-workers are people who have incredible knowledge and experience and I'd like to learn from them. I am a fan of mentorship (me being mentored or me mentor
- I have one too...I ruined his career So I have a #metoo story. I haven’t shared it much because after consequences of speaking up...it was like I was a terrible person for reporting it. I was young, just got a promotion to what I thought was an amazing job. I was so excited! There was a more senior specialist and as part of my training
- Fuck it, me too Never "publicly" told this story but here goes. I was a few months out of school in my first job when my manager started doing little things that were making me uncomfortable. They sat too close or insisted that I go to a social event with the team and then corner me away from everyone else to talk
- Changing my preferred pronoun I am a female in tech with an androgenic name. I have often observed I get a decent respect from colleagues as long as we are exchanging emails (especially offshore), but the moment they talk to me and figure out I'm female, they become difficult and condescending. I am also looking to change my job
- Afraid I might be a diversity hire Not really a #metoo thing, but want to hide the company for obvious reasons. Recently started interviewing at a few places, FANG and some startups. People are very eager to talk to me, mostly going straight to onsites and/or coffee chats with management. Somehow I just can’t shake the feeling, peo

- The way the co-founder kept looking at me during my interview Screw it. I’ll take the bait. Here’s my #MeToo story. One of many. It may not seem like much to some people, but it is to me. When I interviewed at this startup, one of my interviewers was the COO. I immediately felt uncomfortable with him. It was one of those moments where he didn't say anything i
- Why do white women not speak up about the lack of blacks and Latinos at tech companies? Seems like the diversity and inclusion efforts prioritize women.
- My company won’t hire hr There are big culture problems and several sexual harassment complaints at my company but they refuse to hire hr. From many of the posts on here it seems like no one trusts hr but this seems like case where the presence of hr would be a good thing. Am I wrong to think the reluctance to hire hr is co

- Shit, I've made a huge mistake in taking this job I was out as the only queer woman at a startup, and on my very first day my boss was wearing a t-shirt depicting two women in bed, kissing each other. My first thought was: "Shit, I've made a huge mistake in taking this job." And the working environment was equally as uncomfortable while working the

- Torn between what I want vs what my parents want. How did you deal with it? I am constantly torn between the things I want to do, and the things my parents expect out of me. Since they have dedicated their lives to make me who I am today, it feels guilty to hurt them. They want me to get married, I want to stay single and adopt a child. I don't have time for relationship B
- Harassment and discrimination at Capital One Has anyone else experienced this at Capital One? Male leaders are protected by HR and associates standing up for their rights are bullied in an attempt to make them leave. I won’t back down or be quieted and want others to know you’re not alone. This is not ok. #capitalone
- False Accussations Share your story. Quick story: a female journalist threaten to write a false #metoo story in order to get me fired. I was smart enough to realize during our conversation that she was alluding to this false accussation; I managed to get a recording in order to protect myself. It's rough out there m
- I just want my life back I’m not in tech like the rest of you, but I do work at a popular startup in SF, so I guess that’s close enough. My friend sent this app to me tonight because we’re both dealing and have dealt with similar issues of harassment and assault in the workplace. Anyway, what I do know is that there are ma
- Sexual Intimidation in College by a Professor My story comes out of a place fraught with a medieval power dynamic and internal structurality that, in many ways, set the stage for my encounter. I was nineteen. I was bright-eyed and naive and in college, and I needed help with the process of rasterizing a map for one of my classes. I did not anti
- Can I speak out about sexual harassment after signing an NDA? Recently, I was let go from a startup. No real reason was given, so it was quite a surprise. I was immediately presented with a severance which I would only get if I signed a non disclosure agreement and I had to make the decision right then and there. I felt like I had no choice, because I didn’t m
- How to report metoo incident in autodesk My gf is in Autodesk and she is facing metoo incident. Her manager harasses her like anything, she literally cries everyday. Is there any org in Autodesk where women can share their concerns? As everyone is asking and to be clear here, it is not sexually harassment. It is more of mental torture whi
- Any tips on how to forgive myself and move on? This is going to be maddeningly vague but due to the sensitivity of the situation, I can't reveal the exact details. But here goes: I did something that I thought was just harmless fun to another person that I really like. It suddenly hit me like a brick that what I did was wrong because I was toyi
- #MeToo backlash. Have you witnessed? Women, I am worried that there is going to be a massive backlash around this movement and may negatively affect women. Have you already started seeing/noticing this or is this just a figment of my imagination?
- Invisible Earlier in my career I dealt with a lot of inappropriate advances, drunken grab ass, and sexualized comments. I’ve been compared to porn stars, pressured to go to strip clubs, and even roofed (drugged) by my colleagues. This was all deplorable. But now that I am older and not an object of desire, I

- Feel like getting fired after I went to HR I was really unhappy with my team and manager as I was the only girl in the team and they were acting like a boy's team. (I might be wrong) but I felt that way and then people won't include me on many things and I started to feel left out. I approached my manager but he was not helpful so I went to
- Do men need to ask consent for courtship? We are the generation that uses tinder, yet we get upset when we get an unwarranted touch on our arm at a bar. Should men be required to ask for consent when continuing to flirt with or even talk to a woman?
- Tell me about the women engineers you respect professionally I am struggling with female role models in tech. Opening this post for constructive, helpful advice. Can people please share their experience with women engineers whom they respect and whose advice they value? How did the woman engineer earn your professional trust and respect? When she gives her op
- Is HR that bad? I see here conflicting comments about HR. A lot of ppl say HR is not on your side, but also saying if there is anything record and report to HR. I can understand general consensus of “HR is not your friend” but when it comes to sexism at work place, sexual harassment, is it that bad? Anyone ever ha

- Stalker from work My coworker/colleague turned out a stalker. It all started when he asked me for mentoring sessions. I was happy to help out. By the third or fourth session, he openly shared that he had a crush on me. I liked him as a friend, but no more and in all interactions behaved as such. We grabbed tea one ev
- How do we solve #MeToo Even though I'm a man, I was once groped by a friend of mine. I didn't know he was gay. He sneaked up behind me like he was hugging me, then full on grabbed my cock. I was so freaked out. It's nothing compared to many other stories, but it's something. Anyway, how does one actually solve this? A se

- Guys Why haven't any guys come forward? Surely there are some guys who have been harassed?
- Don't tell me I should smile more. Please
- #metoo movement is about power Look at Kevin Spacey case. It wasn’t about gender, but it was about power. Whoever has the power, which also can be a group of individuals who are majority or in power, shouldn’t misuse the power. This also applies to bullies, any sort of discrimination not just sexual harassment. In our work place
- We're sorry As a man I'd like to sincerely apologize for the sadistic curse of men that you have to share this world with - the men that caused #metoo. Those animals that exist out there that ruin it for all of us who just want to live normal lives. You men are hate. You are filth. Your mothers, sisters, wives
- Not enjoying work I don’t think my manger cares, or anyone is really interested in what I do at work. I roll in at 11 AM and leave by 3:30 .. should I be happy or disappointed? The tasks are so dis-engaging and typical that a high-school kid can do them. Mainly business logic related but they seem like side unwanted
