The most alienating thing that happened to me as a female engineer
To summarize: Most of the team wants to watch progam A; watching program A during dinner is an established team ritual; author wants to change channel to program B, which is &quot;met with incredulity and laughter&quot;. Some time later, program B is running; team members come in and want to change the channel to program A. And that latter event is the most alienating during her time at Microsoft.<p>Wat.<p>It gets better: Because program A is baseball, and program B is Friends, and since we all know that baseball is a man&#x27;s program, and Friends is a woman&#x27;s program, this is really about gender discrimination and sexism.<p>&gt; <i>People would question my social skills.</i><p>I really do.
