I should clarify- they're not *all* trash. There's just an overwhelming amount of them, and 1 me ๐ฃ
Will likely be setting some tools/a specific inbox soon to help manage getting in contact with me. I promise I'm not ignoring anyone- it's just *a lot* of noise.
...also, would not mind getting less "hey"s on the reg ๐๐
Early in my career, I was given the feedback "just be careful there aren't too many women at your meetup- we don't want it to be too homogeneous", and I think about the absurdity of that statement every fucking day.
Soon after, they had the audacity to ask me for a "positive referral" for their next position.
Being a woman in tech is exhausting.
Best part? The data said otherwise.
There were way more men than women attending these events- there were just more women than usual... ya know, the whole thing companies have been trying to solve for YEARS, I had accomplished on my own, and was scolded for. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I'll have other ways to contact me- don't worry. But I just can't continue to keep this channel of communication open while @TwitterSafety does nothing to protect me/my sanity ๐๐๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฅ Fleets have made it even worse.
