I mean tbh, if it's tech from San Fran they actually are super about inclusive. At least any devs I've met from there, as it's sort of woven into the cultural tapestry of the West Coast as a whole (which is funny considering it has had some exceptionally racist policies in the past). I think more so people just don't realize what might be a thing needed to run the gamut of diversity because the face of STEM itself is relatively one sided in America. Probably just the face of corporate America as a whole, if we were being honest.

yeah it is, also a west coast engineer, but there's also nuance. There's definitely a difference between HR telling you the corporate policies and then there's going to your VP and telling them their pet product may have ethical ramifications. There's a lot of rug sweeping if a project is important.

Yeah, I talked about that before too somewhere on here. If they tell you to fudge, you fudge because standing up gets you axed.
