Former Employee Accuses and Arraigns Twitter of Male Chauvinism



(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.
