This is going to be a quick post again. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned my job before but I’m in the technology industry. As a woman in tech, even though it’s 2020, I still face challenges. Today, for instance, I was forcibly muted during a Zoom meeting for talking at the same time as someone else on my team. We both started talking at the same time and somehow I was chosen to be shut-up over the man speaking. And the host of the meeting was a man. My manager happened to be out at the time and she is one of only two other women on my team.

This may not be about gender but it isn’t the first time my opinion was disregarded over a man’s opinion and I expect it won’t be the last. I want to believe that the people I work with are good people but I guess that might be false hope.

I hope you have an amazing day, reader. Take care of yourself.
