Life as a Woman in the IT Industry THEN

“The men used to

put inappropriate

sexual images on my

computer

screensaver to make

me feel

uncomfortable”

“Assertive female

managers were called

bossy. Assertive male

managers were ‘good

at their job’”

“There were

at least 3 or 4

men to every

woman when I

first started

working in the

Test &

Validation

team 10 years

ago”

“Female colleagues would not

feel as confident at asserting

their opinions or challenging

things as they are now” “When I first started in Networks in

2001, there were 3 women in technical

roles across a team of around 200”
