😂😂  
 Never seen good looking men make such complaints 🤐

Maybe they are so dumb that they are never called to interview in such bug companies or probably end up being such HRs..

Software Engineer

Why do you believe good looking people cannot be intelligent? 
  
 You haven't met enough good ones or you think you are the best than all

I was always confused since my college placements too, why does this pretty women with nothing in their brain get selected easily for higher positions with higher packages 🤷

Category manager

I did see similar cases during my College Placement days.

I dont see anything wrong in the OP screenshot. Big deal. Love can blossom anywhere - you dont have to take it personally

Program Manager

Context: I had put out a message seeking newer projects, and a certain person reached out.
They have over 20+ yrs of exp and run their own boutique consultancy. 
The role they had envisioned fit perfectly that I was looking for. 

Interview: We spoke over an hour, discussing the role, my top skills that would be beneficial, future prospects, where I see myself beyond work. Genuinely good conversation. 

The person concludes the Interview and I quote
"Now that I have met you, I can definitely say the pictures you have over your social media and website do not do justice to how you look. You have many photogenic angles that you should explore"

Shock was understatement 

I steered the conversation towards how it is essential for my personal brand building and I have it in my consideration. (I believe I handled it well)

P.S. Anyone who supports this because it was just appreciating beauty - wrong place wrong time and also wrong person.

P.P.S. Time to get a photoshoot done!

The budgets have been cut for diversity hiring. This is also in response to a lawsuit from conservative groups. Is it happening in IDCs too?

Big tech have started slashing diversity related jobs in USA

I have seen pseudo feminism happening everywhere around which has just wasted everyone’s time and energy over debating for false narratives. Does feminism really matter or it brought any change in corporate lives. If yes then why still pay parity exist and why projects have been given on the basis of gender but not on the basis of skill and experience? What’s your take on this ?

Has feminism ever been useful ?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Is it just me or is even a job at the best Tech companies just don’t make any sense for women? 

There are always women who have great family support or husbands that are understanding and encouraging. But generally why does it seem like becoming a senior woman in tech even at the best places is sort of unattractive and significantly increases your odds of “failure” outside of work e.g. divorce,having kids late? 

Interested for thoughts from both men and women.

27F Engineer: Software Engineering Not Worth It For Women?

Product Manager

Hi community,
Wanted to know why MNCs give priority to hire girls over deserving folks?
Got multiple calls and messages from juniors both from college and others that companies are hiring in the ratio of 8 girls to 1 boy. 

Is there any specific thing that the companies gain by this? 

Really saddened by this current scenario, first this reservation scenario, and now this diversity shit.

Seems like it is a curse to be born as a General Male in this country.

Why does this diversity thing exist?

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

My Experience as Fresher with Workplace Harassment and Forced Resignation at Accenture

Just a random thought, sometime I've observed professional women are hypocrite or not clear what they want:
(Please note these are observation i had sometimes, so I'm not generalizing women. Also, there is societal hypocricy. Please don't bash me. There are cases with men hypocricy also, but I'm just giving my perspective on women hypocricy.  I don'tsupport men hypocricy, that's why i do support my womrn colleagues at work in any difficult situation(if work is late night, stressed situation, or discussikn in a board where all members are straightforward men) and also household work(cleaning, arrangement, shopping. No child right now. (saying because some would try to bash me out).)
At work:
a. They want equal treatment, if due to poor performance, if you yell them in loud voice, they will cite all gender topics from PoSH.
b. If they don't know something, you can't make them do it and you have to learn(if you also don't know) and do it. Also, if you rry to act smart, they will straight away complain.
c. If you don't know, and if they know it, they'll touch your male ego or just provide little information. 
d. For poor performance, women have all sorts of excuses in front of male senior, but a man is never allowed to bring family issues in work in front of female senior.
e. A business decision if a woman has to take, and if it goes wrong, she finds multiple loopholes to divert attention, but if a man business decision fails, there is havoc on man.
At home:
a. They'll cite equality in work, and always want to settle with man with income above then her only.
b. If you've all servants for all households tasks and you take care of house works too, still she'll cite superiority.  And if you try to cite superiority, she will complains to inlaws and then it's again a family discussion.
