(Digital
Marketing Agency) – Last
Thursday, microblogging firm Twitter was charged with a proposed class action
lawsuit from their former female employee who believes the tech giant is
unjustly sided with certain individuals in terms of promotions and job
vacancies in the workplace who are mostly men.
"Promotion into Twitter's senior technical
positions is based on subjective judgments, by committees that are comprised of
and dependent on upper management at Twitter, and predominantly male,"
according to the lawsuit, portions of which were published by Mashable.
"These judgments are tainted with conscious or unconscious prejudices and
gender-based stereotypes, which explains why so few women employees at Twitter
advance to senior and leadership positions."
The supposed victim of the gender prejudice also encourages
"all
current and former female employees of Twitter denied promotions in the three
years prior to the filing of this complaint" to join her.
