This may sound weird but it sounds not less than a reality as many women working in Silicon Valley seem to be complaining about their presence in different tech companies including even the top ones like Google and Facebook. A bigger narrative that sounds on the top by the women in Silicon Valley feels that a majority of women in the IT hub are seen getting fed with fictional stuff than what their male counterparts get. One of the former workers in a top Tech company called Anna Wiener called it to be an Uncanny Valley in a long post sharing her personal experience about the disillusionment and ambivalence while working in San Francisco based on the company in her early career. 

One of the former employees from Google called Claire Stapleton was seen writing a long article for a magazine called Elle in the US. She said she was loved a lot by Google until she pointed out everything that sucked her about the company. The other lady worker at Uber called Susan Fowler also had a similar experience which she has compiled in her book called Whistleblower all set to release in April. Similar stories have been jotted down in another forthcoming book Abolish Silicon Valley by Wendy Liu all set to hit the market in Feb which busts several myths about the women working in the tech industry at Silicon Valley.

Most of the narratives set by women go beyond their workplace adding a full scope of any weird and exclusionary Silicon Valley that gives all together with an opposite tech culture in the last decade. The author of the book further explained how many tech companies have started distancing from the women working in the recent past. She further said that there are several structural issues that are more vital than the personal narrative coming in their way. She claimed that more often the companies make empty promises when they plan to give something hefty to their women employees.

Even Google that believes in Do Not Be an evil motto is seen pushing its women workers to Down for the Cause at all the cost that ends up creating a burnout thing. While adding more on it, the author claimed that what we see in most of the companies in Silicon Valley is ruled by ambitious, arrogant and aggressive young men from America’s soft suburbs who have made the entire culture hostile for women. Although most of the companies in Silicon Valley tend to have intense mission statements carrying even some high flying stories of people in reality, the kind of treatment they have for women on the ground is just the opposite.
