The most women I have worked around was at ATI, a tech company...much less at east engr cos(n/t)

So they weren't getting hired. My sister worked at Pratt and Whitney -- pretty
much for her whole career in the US. And the article shows a picture of Admiral
Grace -- there was that interview where the guy asked Bjarne Stroustrup didn't
you need to have a beard to write an important computer language and he
responded "Grace Hopper didn't". Women are NOT getting hired in the
big jobs -- but my sister was employed in the field from the sixties to the
nineties (with some of the time being in Africa where here husband was teaching
at Enugu. It's not, alas, a surprise the sexism is real but we really should be
over the blindness. Women have ALWAYS been in the IT department and always will
be.

My mother....and tiny sample issues.
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 07 2012 @ 11:56 AM EDT
Was a systems analyst for IBM....at that time (mid 1960s) it was a mixed-sex
shop.

I've mostly worked for small, east coast engineering companies...ATI, with a
west coast culture, had a *lot* more women around, including in authority, than
any other one.

We've not had good luck here (E. coast engineering company) with the one woman
we hired, decided the woman's husband (also an engineer) was a candidate for
sainthood. Not that I'm not having issues with one of the guys here, for
ignorance and uppityness....and another, with a degree, for not noticing that he
had set a maximum below a minimum....

And we all know, a sample of one makes the universe! (not! -- so add more
samples if you would)
