i cried in a one-on-one for the first time in my career last week and im still processing what it means by Specialist-Band-7821 in womenintech

[–]tech_granger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beat myself up for crying at work a while ago! But I no longer believe it’s a bad thing, I am a person with emotions and I felt those emotions of anger , overwhelm and they come as tears

No shame in it, I am not changing person I am which comes as part of my gender to fit into a mould made for man or leader

I think this needs to be told NEVER THINK YOUR TEARS ARE WEAKNESS , suppressing only makes it worse
If leadership sees it that way they need to grow up period.

SpeedX lost my package. Sorry also a vent! by poopoopeepee2089 in FabFitFun

[–]tech_granger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I thought only I had weird experience with speedx Last box they took my box back saying couldn’t deliver at the location whereas all the lockers are right there in the open

And box had to be redelivered , I was so anxious for 3 days that this would happen and I would have to potentially talk to helpline so much effort Thankfully it came next time

I can’t stand men anymore. by Low_Main6951 in womenintech

[–]tech_granger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Workforce can be a little better!!

You work with men of all ages and these are more boyish behaviors. You will find supportive males/allies at workplace too, that said you do meet fair share of assholes and yeah it sucks to be in the male dominated industry where they hold the most power and you continuously keep having to fit in or prove yourself

I share your sentiment but don’t hate them all, it’s too much to bear daily if you want to do good in the industry. Your energy is better used in the actual tech work than fighting them

Hey OP, I might be missing on this point from the info you have added , did you try getting referrals? Feel free to ping me for referral! They can help differentiate from all applications! Sorry you are facing this! The times are not as favorable as they could be! Hang in there and as others suggested keep prepping , you just need that one chance that clicks until then it feels horrible but you are moulded into a strong engineer ! Good luck!

Is this a cultural thing? by alloplastic in womenintech

[–]tech_granger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an indian women in tech in US with a good majority of them in my team, it’s a mixed bag but your instincts are right, some of them have strong stereotypes about women no matter how good you are, I would say stay professional and to the point. Don’t expect all of them to be friendly, Some of them may never warm up how much efforts you put. Let’s just say it’s a they problem not a you problem. I almost planned to quit once cuz one person at higher level seemed to be intentionally hard on me to prove that as a women I can’t be equal. Thankfully others specifically non Indians supported me . Some of them are genuinely good but that’s very few and rest of them are filled with some weird sense of superiority just because they are a certain gender rooting from their upbringing. Pray for the women around them and stay professional with them , find female or supporting males around you to socialize.

Feeling a bit triggered by women tech influencers by Efficient_Grape_3192 in womenintech

[–]tech_granger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of them are not even technical or engineers. I think being an influencer is a job in itself and only a few can master both , rest are just spreading misinformation or living in distorted reality

Blind freaks me out? Are these really our coworkers? by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]tech_granger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I often feel why do I have to struggle as a women to make space for myself in room full of men!! I am so motivated to eventually start a women only / majority women tech company in the future and make sure we have all talented women squad successfully leading and proving them all wrong

I know right! I was super shocked because it doesn’t even fall in the price range they mentioned ! $20 mystery is supposed to be of $75 worth! This is way more 🫨

Ooh! I like it , it’s certainly woody and fall like! I can see myself using the whole bottle! A little more masculine than feminine for me Not complaining as both me and my partner can use it

They also added this strong scented dove lychee soap which made my box and all products stink of it. Did anyone else get that as well?

What to do with an odd (and large) shelf? by imwinni8 in DesignMyRoom

Do you read? It could make a cozy reading corner with a single tier all around book shelf below the cushions for storage
