Microsoft | Leaked email chain reveals hellish harassment culture for women

Women working within the tech giant Microsoft have shared details of sexual harassment and discrimination via a leaked email chain.

The chain received hundreds of responses since it began on March 20, which has since lead to employees protesting about the work culture during a Q&A with CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday.

First reported by Quartz, the email detailed issues such as a lack of promotions and unfair treatment towards staff from underrepresented groups within the company, Gizmodo reported.

One employee wrote: “This thread has pulled the scab off a festering wound. The collective anger and frustration is palpable. A wide audience is now listening. And you know what? I’m good with that.”
