Where Are All the Women?

Posted February 16, 2005 at 3:58 PM EST | Categorized as Women!, Work

Carly’s departure from HP has really stirred up a hornet’s nest of discussion about women in computing. Now Wired News is picking up the thread, which is good. But is anybody listening?

Seeing as how I’m a female senior manager leaving a tech company, I really wonder about this. I don’t have any job offers yet (no cracks about my resume not being up on this site yet, please), and my current employer has made no effort to keep me around. So I have to wonder if the news about women in top management is really getting through to top management.
