GitHub Founder Resigns Following Harassment Investigation
An anonymous reader writes "Late Yesterday, GitHub concluded its investigation regarding sexual harassment within its work force, and although it found no evidence of 'legal wrongdoing,' Tom Preston-Werner, one of its founding members implicated in the investigation resigned. In its statement, GitHub vows to implement 'a number of new HR and employee-led initiatives as well as training opportunities to make sure employee concerns and conflicts are taken seriously and dealt with appropriately.' Julie Ann Horvath, the former GitHub employee whose public resignation last month inspired the sexual harassment investigation, found the company's findings to be gratuitous and just plain wrong."
And women wonder why companies are so reluctant to hire them. Having an all male workforce means not having to deal with headaches like this.
Posting AC because you liberal pussies are going to clutch your pearls and mod me down into the dirt, even though deep down you know I'm right.
Say what you will, but the AC is correct about this being a risk that vanishes in an all-male workforce. What kind of message does that send? It tells the world that women just can't handle the same work environments that men can, so why bother hiring them? You can chant "MUH SOJINY" all you like, it won't change the fact that every high-profile story of female crying wolf-victim damages equality, and then people like you show up and further entrench the notion that women make everyone behave like berserk Neanderthals and thus are a liability.
You are the problem.
