In this post I will be doing a text to world, and the article is called “Ex-Uber engineer accuses tech company of gaslighting female employees, defending workplace harassment” by Nicole Hensley. It’s about how HR and management were getting emails from multiple women on how this male manager was showing inappropriate behavior and interactions with his employees that are female and the company was gaslighting these women and saying that they’re the problem or they should just drop it. As Susan Fowler said on the company, “Some of the women even had stories about reporting the exact same manager I had reported, and had reported inappropriate interactions with him long before I had even joined the company,” Fowler wrote. “It became obvious that both HR and management had been lying about this being “his first offense”, and it certainly wasn’t his last.” This reminds of how there were women in the sports broadcasting/ journalism field and how they were treated off camera. In a male dominated field such as sports broadcasting/ journalism, a lot of these women were just seen as Barbies on set and not for who they are and what they do. They have gotten sexualized or even sexually harassed and a lot of them thought it. was normal because it’ll be their way of reaching their goals. So in comparing both of these situations are very similar to each other and even other situations dealing with women in a male dominated field and how these companies ignore it.
