Where are all the women?

Is the one left you, or besides you ? Are the females being especially laid off or finding they want to quit ? Christian We're just observing the seasonal migration from VB to VC. Most of these birds will be killed by predators or will die of hunger. Only the best will survive - Tomasz Sowinski 29-07-2002 ( on the number of newbie posters in the VC forum ) Cats, and most other animals apart from mad cows can write fully functional vb code. - Simon Walton - 6-Aug-2002

Not that my company is all that large, but still. Christian Graus wrote: Are the females being especially laid off or finding they want to quit ? They've quit for different reasons. One got married, the woman leaving at the end of the month is going back to school. I don't think they're being singled out for layoffs. A couple months ago, my employers laid off about half the programming staff (10 people), of which only one was a woman.

Every time I logon, I never see female names associated with posts? Do you fellas just alienate females? Lilian ;P
A thread started by a woman and replies by three different women. Surely this is a CP first?

Call us trailblazers. Good Lord, how long did that take? Our technical lead is female. Half the development staff on my project is female. Actually, where I work is pretty mixed. We're balanced genderwise and have good minority representation.

There are a lot of women in my company, it's just that they are all in administrative postions (reception, payroll, etc.). In fact, there isn't a single female manager where I work.

I guess it's a different situation for me. Where I live and work, the majority of the citizens are engineers. I would think Silicone Valley, Seattle, and the DC area are more heterogeneous. I can count the amount of single women on one hand. Sorry, Norm...

I wish all my software was in C++, but company policy pushes me towards Labview :(( Elaine :rose: Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
LabView? Ugh - you have my sympathy Elaine! What do you do at your place? Oddly enough NI tried to poach me once (I worked for a competitor/customer - it's complex) but when they asked I was happy where I was...I also didn't fancy working on their stuff (I was working on C++ by then) and really didn't fancy commuting to Newbury (their UK HQ) - the traffic's just awful!

The place I work for manufacture other peoples products (top end IT gear mostly) and I am involved in test development. Unfortunately, upper management at our HQ were impressed by the pretty pictures with Labview so that has become the preferred platform. However, I am slowly making changes here.... (evil cackle) I hope to get the go ahead for a reasonable sized VC++ prject in the next month which will people from a lot of Labview.

I'm here. Yes, new women are frequently attacked and driven off. They are accused of being males in disguise. If you survive the initiation they will be nice to you. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
Lucy, I like your quote. Provided its chocolate dessert of course :cool: Elaine (fluffy tigress emoticon) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

When I went on a visit to IBM SSD in San Jose a couple of years ago there quie a few women engineers. The only thing I did note was that about half the technical staff were immigrants (i.e. first generation US citizens). First time I had worked with anyone from south America.
