I've collected some of the more egregious things I've heard around women and minorities in tech.

At a well-known company, while it was small, regarding hiring an office manager, the female head of HR said "I don't want to say it, but I'm leaning towards [the female candidate over the black candidate] because she's a woman." She was hired and fired 3 months later.

At a company you haven't heard of, "basically, the next person we hire has to be woman."

I've seen recruiters search for common (white?) female names in LinkedIn for reachouts. Someone's going to subpoena LinkedIn searches and there's going to be an ugly class action suit against companies doing this.

"Now that we hired <male name>, we really need to ramp up hiring women."

A very competent women in a good role with a stay-at-home husband told me she has it easy because tech companies are bending over backwards to hire women.

At another well-known company, reviewing resumes, someone said "this resume would be a 'no' for a male."

I've also see a lot less focus on diverse racial hiring, and interestingly, at a number of companies, there are teams of 10 people who are either all Chinese or Indian. I've worked in one in my career, and it wasn't good. I obviously didn't belong.
