In the statement, the unnamed author calls out tech companies for gender discrimination and sexism, saying “women are leaving your tech company because you don’t deserve to keep us around.” She decries how women in tech have been looked over, put down, and pushed aside while “our male peers back-pat each others’ shitty work onwards to the next production incident.”
