- Straw poll: If you’re a woman or minority in your field, what language turns you away from job descriptions? Language that feels inviting?
- @whimsicalwalney @kissane Yea, aggressive language implies aggressive workplace implies not good for even mildly passive people
- @actualhop @kissane Don't know that passive is opposite of aggressive for this. I am competitive but don't want to crush ppl in my efforts.
- @whimsicalwalney @actualhop @kissane Awesome point. Strong, data-driven professional advocacy is neither passive nor aggressive.
- @kissane @meaganewaller "Work hard play hard," etc turns me off. "We value learning," is inviting.
- @meaganewaller @kissane Yes! The rockstar/ninja/jedi etc. vocab. Awful.
- @meaganewaller @kissane yep! It lets me know the company cares more about capacity for growth than what is currently in my head *right now*
- @kissane @lifewinning (if that needs more context: the ruby community has had a dismal response to reports of harassment in the community)
- @kissane @soniasaraiya Merit-based is inviting. Picked my current job over another b/c not a single question was asked about family life.
