And then what? Apparently, many other individuals either directly participated, or indirectly did nothing. Both are equally bad. This indicates a broken culture not just for the company, but for Silicon Valley and the industry as a whole. It is likely that Uber employee demographics closely match Bay area. Are we to believe that for all the talk about liberalism, & progressiveness, when it comes to real action, SV employees will choose stock options instead? |

Well, we've been hearing about "brogrammers" now for quite some time. There definitely seems to be a giant amount of misogyny among the under-35 programmer crowd, according to numerous sources and stories. So I don't think that this incident at Uber is unusual for the industry, sadly, but rather the work culture at SV companies is broken.

I think your assumption is faulty. While there's certainly a lot of tech employees in the Bay Area, I think it's faulty to assume that the vast majority of the population of the Bay Area works as programmers (or in closely related fields). No economy can work that way. Yes, there's a lot of progressivism among the Bay Area population; I think it would be ridiculous to deny that. But I think it's apparent that SV programmers only give lip service to it, at best, and they're a small subset of the overall population there.
