My .02: Most tech figures should be advised to stay away unless directly implicated. No benefit to pile on.: "I'm focused on my company/firm/etc. and making it the strongest it can be. We are making sure that all our employees feel supported in an environment free of harassment."
Aside from media tweets and pony jokes, the silence from prominent tech figures on this story is deafening. To the women in this story: thank you for coming forward. I wish you had felt comfortable using your names so we could support you directly.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-01/uber-investor-shervin-pishevar-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-by-multiple-women …

I’m saying this as a human, not as a comms professional. From a comms standpoint, I probably shouldn’t have tweeted this. (Also, people who’ve been weighing in on *everything* else have been dead silent here so
.) -
Pshhh. Thank you for saying it.

It's fascinating to see where people are willing to condemn and where they are not.

I’m not a tech mogul but I am a tech purchaser and I read the entire article carefully.

You're right. When it's tech involved it seems as though people in the industry don't say a word.
