01:53need to smile more I can't have someone with a sour face representing our tech department affects the
01:59team dynamics I'm excited to discuss how my experience in full-spot development can benefit
02:04your team I've worked on some really really innovative projects that's fine great let me ask you something
02:09um look are you sure you wouldn't be more happier like in our marketing department those positions are a
02:15more you know suitable for someone like like you I'm sorry what do you mean by that well marketing it's
02:24more about communication creativity people skills tech it's a little bit different it's hardcore problem
02:30solving yeah I have five years of experience in software development including leading a team that
02:37increased application efficiency by 40 percent I'm confident in my technical abilities sorry
02:42technical abilities sweetheart do you even know what a server looks like have you ever been in a data
02:48center or yes actually I've designed and implemented server architectures for high traffic applications look I'm
02:59not sure that you're very dedicated but let's be realistic here tech is a man's world it requires logical
03:06thinking problem-solving under pressure and working long hours without getting emotional okay I don't see
03:13how gender affects logical thinking or problem-solving abilities come on we all know that women are
03:20emotional right Brad we all know this and when the code breaks at 2 in the morning the whole systems
03:26down we
03:27need someone that can think clearly not someone who's just going to start crying that's a completely
03:33unfounded stereotype my previous employer can attest to my performance under pressure previous employer let
03:42me guess they were just being nice because they had to fill some diversity quote am I right exactly
03:49companies have to hire women now even if they're not qualified it's about appearances I earned my
03:56position through merit I let a team that actually team leader that's cute let me ask you something
04:03what happens when you decide that being a mommy is more important than meeting deadlines huh my personal
04:09life has no bearing on my professional capabilities see look look you should get a mirror look at yourself
04:14you're getting emotional already this is exactly what I was talking about okay I'd like to discuss the
04:23technical requirements for this position I've reviewed your current stack and I have some ideas for
04:29optimization technical requirements sweetheart this job requires someone who can handle real enterprise level
04:37development we're talking about systems that are handling millions of transactions I understand I've
04:44architected systems that handle similar loads at my last company I design designed or did you just document
04:51what the men on your team actually build I personally wrote the core algorithms and supervise the
04:58implementation algorithms now what you're doing now you're just throwing around buzzwords do you even
05:04understand what enterprise architecture means I have a master's degree in computer science from
05:10Stanford I've published papers on distributed system architecture papers okay academic theory is different from real
05:19data world application can you actually code or do you just kind of talk about it of course I can
05:25code
05:25I've been programming for over a decade what languages and please please God don't say HTML that's not a
05:34programming language Java Python C++ JavaScript go I'm also proficient in multiple frameworks and databases anyone can memorize a list
05:48of programming languages
05:49the question is can you actually solve problems when the pressures on see there you go there you go there's
05:54that frown again I
05:55told you what did I tell you when you first walked in here huh I told you you need to
05:58smile more no one wants to work with someone who looks angry all the time
06:02I am passionate about my work and I believe my results speak for themselves I've consistently delivered projects on time
06:10and under budget
06:12okay here's the thing baby cakes look even if you could do the job and I'm not saying that you
06:17can you'd be working with guys who don't have
06:19time to be holding your hand and explain things slowly I don't need my hand held I need challenging work
06:25and the opportunity to
06:26contribute to innovative projects okay but what happens when you start crying because someone criticizes your code we can't have
06:35that kind of drama in the workplace I've never cried over code criticism I welcome constructive feedback because it means
06:42it's not a lot of
06:42it makes me a better developer right okay look we both know that women take everything personally and when we
06:50tell you that your solution isn't optimal what are you gonna do you're gonna think that we are attacking you
06:56personally that's not true I'm able to separate personal feelings from professional
07:00feedback plus what happens when you decide being a mommy is more important than meeting deadlines we cannot afford to
07:08have someone disappear for months at a time many successful
07:12professionals balance parenthood with their careers my commitment to my work isn't dependent on my personal choices look I've been
07:19in this business for 20 years okay I've seen women come and go they start with good intentions but when
07:25push comes to shove what do they do every time they prioritize family over work every time that's an illegal
07:32basis for hiring decisions and it's not an accurate assessment of my professional capability there you go again you're getting
07:39all
07:39legal and defensive you should see yourself right now this is exactly what I've been talking about you can't just
07:44focus on the technical aspects look I came here to discuss my qualifications for a software development position instead I'm
07:52being subjected to gender based assumptions and stereotypes okay let's see there you're emotional already and this is just the
07:59interview this is exactly what I've been talking about the moment that things get challenging you start throwing around accusations
08:04accusations so let me save us both some time okay but you seem like a really nice girl
08:09but this job but this job requires someone that can handle real enterprise level development you know you should do
08:15you should maybe look into an entry-level position where you can kind of you know learn the basics first
08:22I don't need to learn the basics I need a position that challenges my existing expertise your existing expertise
08:28sweetheart I've been doing this since before you were even in college trust me you are not ready for this
08:38level of responsibility your assumptions are based on nothing but gender bias there's that attitude again and you are definitely
08:46not smiling now this is exactly why women don't succeed in tech women don't succeed in tech because of attitudes
08:54like yours not because of any lack of capability okay well you know what
08:58uh good luck with your job search oh and here's a little tip remember next time try to be more
09:04positive employers they don't like negativity yeah and don't forget to smile on your way out first impressions they they
09:10matter
09:18Sophia okay what happened in there I can't work here I can't work with those awful sexist men
09:28that wasn't an interview it was a humiliation session I'm so sorry I wish I could have warned you but
09:36I wasn't sure how to has this happened before to other women more times than I can count I've watched
09:44qualified women walk out of here defeated and there's nothing I can do about it
09:54why are you why are you still here I thought we were done the interview by the way it ended
09:58when you stormed out you know some people can't handle constructive feedback
10:02no we're just trying to help her understand the reality of this industry maybe she's asking Jenny for tissues you
10:09know how emotional they get when things don't go their way
10:12and you know something dude it's probably for the best because she would have quit within a month anyway they
10:17always quit they always quit
10:18you know what thank you this interview just gave me the motivation I needed to pursue something I've been thinking
10:24about for months
10:25oh yeah what's that gonna try a different career path maybe something a little more suited to your uh skill
10:33set
10:34starting my own tech company I'm tired of dealing with dinosaurs who think women can't code
10:40I'm going to build something better than anything you've ever imagined
10:45that sounds amazing Sophia with your qualifications and drive you'll be incredibly successful
10:53thank you Jenny I appreciate you being so supportive
10:57your own company
11:01that's rich you couldn't even handle a simple interview without getting emotional
11:06yeah and good luck getting investors to take you seriously they will probably ask you to smile too actually
11:12yeah and also finding employees who is actually going to work for someone who can't even answer basic technical questions
11:18I answered every technical question you asked you just didn't want to hear the answers
11:22right no right keep telling yourself that starting a company it requires real business sense not just wishful thinking
11:29we'll see who's laughing in a year I'm going to build something that makes your little operation look like amateur
11:34hour
11:37thank you for being the only professional person in the building you deserve so much better than this
11:43I believe in you and I hope you prove them wrong in the most spectacular way possible
11:48I intend to and when I do I'll make sure the entire industry knows exactly what kind of workplace this
11:54is
11:55okay here's a little tip don't don't forget to smile when asking for business loans
12:00thanks love confidence not a little attitude
12:02yeah and maybe wear something a little more professional next time
12:05you know first impressions they do matter a little bit in the workplace
12:08gentlemen I'll remember this conversation every word of it
12:22so check this out Rod I told the new intern that if she wanted to succeed in tech
12:26she needs to be more like a man less chatty more focused on the results
12:30yeah I mean exactly women always want to talk about their feelings instead of getting work done
12:35right it's basic biology
12:38they get distracted by all the office drama personal relationships
12:41what do we do men we focus on the job
12:45yeah they're always asking for help instead of finding things out themselves
12:48I mean it's like they expect to be babied
12:53here we go again
12:57oh my god
12:59you know the problem with hiring women is they're always worried about like a work-life balance
13:04well men we understand that success requires sacrifice
13:09right no you can't build a successful company by leaving at five o'clock everyday to pick up kids
13:20well hello there
13:21hi I don't believe we met
13:23I'm Liam Thompson senior manager here
13:26yeah and I'm Brad Wilson also senior management
13:29are you here for a meeting I'd love to discuss whatever you need
13:32interesting you really don't remember me do you
13:36trust me I'd remember meeting someone as striking as you
13:42are you sure we haven't met before
13:44I mean a beautiful woman like you I definitely would have remembered
13:47maybe we met at a conference
13:50no no not a conference right here actually in this office
13:55here I don't think so I have an excellent memory for faces especially one as
14:01especially what
14:03well especially for successful business professionals which you clearly are
14:09okay one year ago I sat in your office for what you called an interview
14:15you spent the entire time telling me to smile more and explaining why women don't succeed in tech
14:21wait no no no no no no you you you
14:25the woman who couldn't handle constructive feedback
14:27the one who needed to learn the basics
14:30the one who would probably turn out to become a mommy
14:35no no no no no that wasn't that wasn't no no no I mean
14:38look we interview a lot of people and sometimes the conversations
14:43misunderstood
14:45no I understood perfectly
14:47you told me I should look for more entry-level positions where I could learn the basics
14:52you said I would probably have to leave and start a family
14:55you laughed when I said I wanted to start my own company
14:58look if there was some miscommunication during the interview process
15:01no there was no communication you were very clear about your opinion on women in tech
15:07well I did start that company and we've been incredibly successful
15:12in fact we've been so successful that we've been acquiring smaller companies to expand our operations
15:18that that that's that's great congratulations what does that have to do with
15:23we bought your company as of this morning I'm your new CEO
15:27yes
15:30now gentlemen let me give you some advice
15:32you should smile more
15:34you look so serious and angry employers don't like that in their employees
15:39look look look look here I think that there must be some kind of misunderstanding
15:43we should maybe we should just sit down we'll talk about this professionally
15:46there is no misunderstanding
15:48I've had a year to think about our last conversation
15:51I've also reviewed your employment records and your behavior toward women employees
15:56has been consistently problematic
15:58oh wait but that's not fair we treat everyone equally here
16:02really? because I have documentation of multiple complaints from female employees
16:07about hostile work environment issues
16:11Jenny I remember you being the only professional person in this building
16:15I'd like to offer you a promotion to office manager
16:18with significant pay increase and full authority over staffing decisions
16:23oh Sophia I I can't believe this is happening
16:28yes absolutely thank you so much
16:30you deserve it you've shown more professionalism and integrity than anyone else in this company
16:37as for you two your employment is terminated immediately
16:40no no no no you can't do this okay that's discrimination
16:44I'm going to sue you for wrongful termination
16:47feel free to try
16:48I have documentation of your harassment of female employees
16:51discriminatory hiring processes
16:53and several witnesses to your unprofessional behavior
16:56my legal team would enjoy that conversation
16:59but we were just doing our jobs
17:02we were trying to find qualified candidates
17:06by asking illegal questions about family planning
17:09and making assumptions based on gender
17:12that's not interviewing
17:14that's discrimination
17:15okay now this is ridiculous
17:17you can't run a tech company
17:19you're just a
17:19I'm just a woman who built a multi-million company in one year
17:23but please continue to tell me what I can't do
17:26this is reverse discrimination
17:29women are taking over everything
17:31and qualified men are just being pushed out
17:33qualified men have nothing to worry about
17:36the problem is men who think their gender makes them qualified
17:39even now you still don't get it
17:43okay Jenny you need to stay out of this okay
17:45this is between all just us okay
17:46between you and my new boss
17:50the women that you told that couldn't succeed in tech
17:54I meant what I said about the promotion
17:56I could use someone with your professionalism and integrity on my team
18:00thank you Sophia
18:01I can't believe this is happening
18:04it feels like justice
18:05it is justice
18:06and it's just the beginning
18:08we're going to transform this company culture completely
18:11you think that you can just waltz in here
18:14and change everything
18:15this company has been successful for years
18:19your turnover rate for female employees is 80%
18:23you've lost three major clients in the past year due to missed deadlines
18:27your code quality metrics are below industry standards
18:32how do you know all that
18:33because I did my homework before making the acquisition
18:36something you should have done before underestimating me
18:40fine you know what we'll pack our things and go
18:43but don't expect this company to survive without experienced leadership
18:47I'm not worried
18:48I've already identified several talented developers
18:51who left this company because of the hostile work environment
18:54and they'll be rejoining us next week
18:56this isn't over
18:58okay we'll find new positions
19:00and we'll make sure everybody in the industry knows what kind of person that you really are
19:04please do
19:04tell everyone how a woman you dismissed as unqualified
19:08bought your company and fired you for discriminatory behavior
19:12I'm sure that will reflect well for you
19:16anyways
19:17welcome to the team Jenny
19:19let's build something amazing together
19:21this is unbelievable
19:22a year ago she was begging us for a job
19:25no women get lucky sometimes
19:27it won't last
19:28oh don't forget to smile on your way out
19:32employers don't like negativity
19:43Jenny
19:44one more thing
19:45yes
19:46you can smile as much or as little as you want
