Response to: "Community Post #1 Exposing Hidden Biases at Google to Improve Diversity"

The numbers of men employees over power the number of women working at tech companies. MANJOO tells us how statistics show that men make up 83 percent of Google’s employees. This only leaves 17% of the other employees to consist of women. However with all the sexist comments and put downs by the other male workers, what woman would want to work there? To got to work everyday and be humiliated by fellow co-workers who think they're better because "this is a man's world" and women do not belong is cruel punishment that is definitely not needed. As long as the women have the same qualifications as the men, they should be hired based on the fact that they are capable of the same things. However, this is not how it is. Women are not given the same opportunities as men in the tech as well as many other industries. Bias in the favor of men in  this work force plays key role of the inequality towards the way things are run.

If a woman has the same capability and skill level as that of a man, shouldn't they both have an equal opportunity of getting the job? This is how it should work in the world we live in today, right? Well, this is not the case. Men are considered for more jobs over women because women aren't seen at the same level. Mr. Bock, Google’s executive in charge of human resources, presents evidence that shows diverse teams can be more creative than homogeneous ones (MANJOO). Big companies are trying to change things to be more impartial. However, when a person is subjected to unethical bias and doesn't have the opportunity to accomplish their goals in the work force, these companies have failed.
