Pushing People into IT

Here is a tip. Don't call your female colleagues "girls". Because you would never call your male colleagues "boys".

Ummmm, We do.

Please stop being offended on another's behalf. Outrage culture isn't healthy.

If you called me a "boy engineer" or anything like that I'd ask you to stop. If you wouldn't, I'd punch you in the face.

Such a temperament would be unacceptable in our or any workplace.

In all honestly, I think we'd be more concerned if a coworker was so quick to take offence. I suggest we are a little more relaxed here in the UK.
