Comment Many words, few actions (Score 0) 479
I've seen people talk about hiring women in the executive suite at tech firms and in tech itself for decades, but little action.
1. Make sure you get as many female interns as male interns. If not, go back to how you recruit, cause you're doing it wrong.
2. Pay women the same as men. Period. No exceptions. Yes, I know you pretend you do, but internal data shows it's a lie.
3. Actually hire twice the industry standard percent of women. Require double the promotion rate per unit of women. There are many excuses, but they are always excuses, and in my long history in tech, I've rarely seen unqualified women. You just shut them out cause they don't get obsessed by the same stuff you do, and you have 1960s visions of gender roles in actual practice.
4. As to other diversity, a lot of the comments are the exact same as 1-3. And you know it.
