The message being either of:
A) We don't care about your tenure or contributions over the year. You're a number we can and will get rid of if we need to. Oh, we just did.
B) Our performance management process doesn't work, so we get rid of low performers with mass layoffs.

Iโm frustrated and disappointed. Hosting , an open academic conference, in a country that makes it so difficult for some students to get a visa based on their nationality is a loss for them, and for the research community as a whole.

Banned?! Seriously?
I often have mixed feelings about being a "woman in tech". I just see myself as an engineer, my gender is irrelevant.
But then shit like this happens, and I remember why gender (or any under-represented status) is not irrelevant, much as I wish it was. Ugh.

I woke up this morning to a news alert that our @GirlsWhoCode middle-grade book series was banned by some school districts as part of the Mom for Liberty effort to ban books. To be honest, I am so angry I cannot breathe.

Watching the update from google at ion gnss+ about ion.org/gnss/googlecom This is so nice to see the progress of something I have seen from the inside and to see the work from the outside is very amazing.
En France, au moins 32% des femmes ont subi du harcรจlement sexuel au travail. 553 000 subissent une agression sexuelle chaque annรฉe. 12% ont รฉtรฉ victimes de viol.
Sortez du dรฉni.
Regardez autour de vous. Nous sommes lร . Dans tous les milieux, les partis, les espaces de travail.

Though I won't make the 40 under 40 year list (arriving in the deadline soon), I did get promoted to Director of Engineering joining many people I respect and admire. I hope to use my new responsibilities to continue pushing on DEI efforts while building cool things.

My mom (61) remembers when women couldnโt have bank accounts without a manโs permission. The rights we take for granted were only won within one lifetime, and could be stripped again within that same lifetime.

I travelled to various conferences in the last decade I've seen people dealt with sexual advances from strangers (omg), from coworkers (omfg), from team leads (omffffg), from managers (yikesssss)... No one deserves to be treated this poorly while doing their job.

Just now, someone who had hidden their badge cornered me at my booth and insisted he'd seen me at kink parties. I told him that was inappropriate and also to leave me alone, but he wouldn't let it go, and I had to walk around the back of the booth to get away from him.
