'You're not making sense, lady': Female computational biologist undermined by male IT employees who tell her ‘she doesn't make sense', leading to office dispute

One female computational biologist who was working in a high-security institution without direct admin access to their machines had to frequently rely on IT support for software installations and updates. Initially, her relationship with IT was okay, but over time, it deteriorated. It became super frustrating for her because she felt like they were being purposely condescending. We're talking about a woman who is a Ph.D. candidate.… Let's just say she's more than qualified to do her job.

Whenever she requested specific software versions due to compatibility issues, they dismissed her concerns, saying the newer versions 'should work'. Well, they obviously weren't working, or she wouldn't have approached them in the first place. The IT employees were also failing to offer effective solutions. If it's supposed to work, but it doesn't… then why? What can be done? These dudes were not doing their job right. Scroll down to read how it all unfolded, and what women in tech had to say about the matter.

Then, check out this female data scientist who had multiple issues with her boss, and was called out during a meeting for literally doing her job.
