Discrimination & Harassment at EMC Corp.
Today's Wall Street Journal has a front-page article on allegations of pervasive sex discrimination and harassment at data-storage system provider EMC Corp.:
[S]ome former EMC saleswomen say the company's sales culture has a less attractive side: a macho, frat-boy atmosphere that can be intimidating and, at times, discriminatory to women. In interviews, 17 former saleswomen and men who left between 2000 and this year described what they said were locker-room antics, company-paid visits to strip clubs, demeaning sexual remarks or retaliation against women who complained about the atmosphere. Three of the women said male managers unfairly took away accounts they had developed and gave them to men.
