Men are constantly like "Unlike women I look at things logically instead of emotionally" and then tell you about how they haven't looked at any data or studies but they feel like the reason women don't go into tech is a lack of interest.

In 2018, it came out that Google had been planning to relaunch in China with censored search, a project known as Dragonfly.
"The engine would blacklist search terms like 'human rights' and 'student protest,' and would produce government-controlled results for 'air quality.' "

I have so much love for what Google used to be and that's why I stayed for so long. Maybe they can be that again, but I'm not going to work for a company I don't believe in while I wait to find out.

In 2018, it came out that "a woman who worked for Google had accused Android cofounder Andy Rubin of coercing her to perform oral sex in a hotel room". Rubin had been let go with a $90 million severance package.

I spent 20% of my week working on an app that helped people find lost loved ones after natural disasters. I spent more free time speaking to students about technology and diversity. For an entire school year, I taught CS classes twice a week at a local low income high school.

The coverups surprised me as much as the sexual assault and harassment. We didn't do stuff like this here. We hired good people and didn't let people get away with stuff like this. We cared about making a safe environment for women, just look at all our diversity initiatives.

In 2017, Google bid for Project Maven, a contract with the US Government that would incorporate AI into drones. "When Google won the Maven contract in late September, the company opted not to say anything at all—even to its own employees."

There's some controversy over the payout and if it was necessary or not. But there's no two sides to investing in his next company. He sexually assaulted an employee and we continued to work with him.

Again and again, we asked the execs for answers. The answers became less sincere. Questions were dodged. We were given corp speak and sometimes actual lies.

I want to be clear how obvious the retaliation was in the case of Claire Stapleton. She was literally told she would be demoted. After bringing in a lawyer, the decision was reversed. Because it was reversed, Google says she was never demoted.

At the time, Rachel Whetstone was a VP at Google and you knew when she answered your question at TGIF, you were going to get an honest and sincere answer with a clear plan to fix things and no excuses. Rachel Whetstone left Google in 2015.

But there's no excuse for trying to remove workplace protections for employees. A good reason for that does not exist.

The company was open. We had a weekly meeting called TGIF where anyone in the company could ask questions of, and raise concerns with, the execs. We got real answers.

When I joined Google, I fell in love with the company immediately. I was excited to come to work, not just for the technical challenges, but because I really felt I was making a difference and working for the good guys.

I set my LinkedIn to "open to offers" the day the retaliation stories were published. I started interviewing soon after and submitted my resignation in July.

"A third, Richard DeVaul, allegedly told a female job candidate that he was in a polyamorous relationship during her interview and invited her to meet him at Burning Man, where he asked if he could give her a massage."

The company's goodbye email included:
"I want to wish Andy all the best with what’s next. With Android he created something truly remarkable — with a billion-plus happy users."

In December 2018, one of the walkout organizers, Meredith Whitaker "was told she would have to leave the Google Cloud organization, where she had worked for three years."

Another organizer, Claire Stapleton, "was told that her role at YouTube would be “restructured” and she would lose half her reports and responsibilities."

And we definitely didn't cover it up. But we had hidden Project Maven and Dragonfly from employees, why not this?

That week, I and a few other female engineers were invited to a meeting with a VP of my org. One woman talked about how she felt confident coming out of the walkout. That she felt the company had really come together and she was so proud to be at Google.

Additionally, during the walkout, Google was working to remove workplace protections for organizing converted activity over work email. This was not in response to the walkout but rather in response to a lawsuit filed by a fired right wing employee.

According to a Google spokesperson “To reiterate, we don’t tolerate retaliation. Our employee relations team did a thorough investigation of her claims and found no evidence of retaliation."

My favorite is the circular logic of “The reason women don’t go into tech is because they’re not interested. I assume they’re not interested because as you can see, very few women go into tech.”

"why dont you just get a new job?"
because leaving doesn't stop Google from firing all its Black women and paying millions of dollars to its sexually assaulting VPs which is still bad whether I work there or not

The US is 76% white and 13% black.
The police killed 172 white people in 2020.
The police killed 88 black people in 2020.
That comes out to killing black people at ~3x the rate they kill white people.

Cancer updates: My last chemo session is today. My last PET scan showed no signs of cancer except that there was a lot of activity in my bones. This is most likely due to medication they have me on to increase my white blood cell count.

Women and all minorities in tech: You will at some point face discrimination, harassment, SOMETHING. Write it all down, even the small stuff, just in case. Because while you’ll never need most of it, one day you will need some of it.
Love all of this! Biggest thing I now tell women in tech is something
