'I suggested she listen to her manager; she just needs to improve': Boyfriend brushes aside girlfriend's concerns over bias in tech, tells her to 'work harder'
The tech industry is riddled with bias, much like other industries worldwide. You can't escape the chauvinistic system where inequality runs rampant, but workplaces that don't discriminate against race/gender do exist. Just not everywhere. A woman was complaining to her boyfriend about the tech industry where they both worked, but he dismissed her concerns. He has a CS/math degree, she has an electronics engineering degree, and while they both have 5 years of experience, he has been promoted to a senior level at his company while she has been promoted only once and is still a junior at her company.
She would still take notes in meetings, while he ran them. After he told her that although he believed that bias existed in the industry, he also believed she should just 'work harder'.
