I havent heard of the right to be heard, but most people know of free speech. So where are you getting the idea of the right to be heard ? Is it a legal idea, your personal idea, a philosophical idea ?

A "smush room" ... gross. I haven't had to deal with that kind of gross culture since I quit an it job on wall street.

pottersbasilisk··on The Gender Pay Gap Is Largely Because of Motherhood
Keep on moving the goalposts.

It doesnt change the fact there is no general wage gap when experience and accurate jobs comparison are taken into account.

pottersbasilisk··on Facebook's female engineers claim gender bias
Im a male junior dev.I go through that too. Its not a gender thing,but a toxic personality thing. The military teaches teamwork but tech is the opposite. Just look at the hype about 10x and ageism.

The focus on superstars and the fear of being outshined.

pottersbasilisk··on Theranos Secretly Bought Outside Lab Gear, Ran Fake Tests: Court Filings
Until corporate officers and shareholders are subject to lawsuits, Limited liability creates an entity that behaves pathologically - without regard to anyone/anything outside of itself.

Theranos,Enron,Volkswagen scandals are just some of the way too many to count scandals that damage citizens.

pottersbasilisk··on Why is Russia so good at encouraging women into tech?
