Wow. “Another said that she had been called a “bitch” at work more than once, and found it was pervasive in the company. “We did a roundtables with the women when I was in Xbox core [team] & every woman, except for 1, had been called a bitch at work.” https://t.co/5q9yhX2RFC

"During a work trip, an employee of a partner company threatened to kill her if she did not perform implied sexual acts. “I raised immediate attention to HR and management,” she wrote. “My male manager told me that ‘it sounded like he was just flirting’ & I should ‘get over it’" https://t.co/rkOplQHJeN

The abuses listed in this article are enraging, heartbreaking, and utterly unsurprising. Also unsurprising is leadership attempting to contain these conversations, channeling them into individual meetings with HR rather than building collective power.https://t.co/vGPMnP7Kwz

I mean sharing statistics around promotions and raises as I know Google started doing, or a way to whistleblow lack of action for HR violations?#WomenAtMicrosoft #Diversity https://t.co/7yVChkwIWF

I have so many stories related to this from my time at Microsoft. Once went to HR about sexist comments about a woman’s appearance made by our new boss, and HR replied “I’m friends with him, and if anything he treats his female employees especially well” https://t.co/WnN2KGmkP3
