  一位前Facebook員工稱,該公司的女員工常常被申飭不要穿那些讓同事“分心”的衣服。

  該爆料人叫安東尼奧•加西亞•馬丁內斯,在馬克•紮克伯格的交際收集公司Facebook事情兩年後被開除。分開公司後,他著書盡情宣露了在矽谷事情生存的各種細節,並對Facebook給出了一系列駭人聽聞的說法。

  馬丁內斯在書裏宣稱紮克伯格很輕易發怒,並且公司的女員工常常由於著裝欠妥遭到批駁。

  馬丁內斯在《淩亂的山公》一書中說:“咱們人力資本部的男主管常常會揭櫫長篇大論,宣講女員工不要穿‘讓同事分心的’衣服。偶然人力資本部的女主管也會站出來幫腔。我厥後才曉得,這些主管有時刻還會將女員工拉到一邊舉行訓戒。”

  “個中一個這類事例產生在告白部。其時,這個部分有一個看起來約16歲的練習生常常穿戴熱褲來上班。這明顯緊張不相符公司的著裝劃定,但咱們在這類不受掌握的年事也曾如斯。”

  歷久以來,Facebook和其他許多矽谷公司都因其男性主導的公司文化而飽受詬病。據Facebook最新宣布的多樣性申報表現,該公司68%的員工是男性;84%的員工從事的是技巧性事情。其他一些曾在Facebook事情過的員工也表現,在Facebook有關性別輕視的投訴其實不會被賣力看待。

  馬丁內斯還在書裏宣稱Facebook首席運營官、著名女權主義者謝麗爾•桑德伯格曾由於一個粗暴的打趣而怒斥高等工程師丹•魯賓斯坦。

  其時魯賓斯坦正在演示一個可以過濾直露圖片的算法。桑德伯格打斷他,問為何幻燈片中的全部演示圖片都是貓的圖片。

  馬丁內斯寫道:“丹刀切斧砍地答復說,‘咱們在演示過程當中用貓來取代那些欠好的圖片,你曉得,那些圖片比擬淫穢。’”

  桑德伯格又問:“好吧,但為何是貓而不是其他器械?”

  馬丁內斯描寫道:“丹擡開端看著屏幕,就似乎第一次留意到那些貓的圖片同樣。然後,他轉過火對謝麗爾小聲地說,‘好吧,就為了演示一下,咱們總不克不及表現那些淫穢圖片吧。以是工程師們選取了用貓取代。由於你曉得,貓咪代表的便是女性的……。’”

  “‘明確了!’謝麗爾險些要吐血。深吸了一口吻以後,她又持續呼嘯般說道,‘假如這個團隊中有女性,她們是絕對不會選取這些作為演示圖片的。我想你應當立時把它們換掉!’”

  馬丁內斯還宣稱,紮克伯格很輕易發怒。有一次,不知哪一個員工將一項新功效的細節泄漏給了媒體,聽說紮克伯格給辦公室裏的全部人發了一封電子郵件,主題是“請告退”,宣稱給媒體透風報信的人反水了全部團隊。

  聽說紮克伯格還因Facebook總部塗鴉墻上的內容怒形於色。本來他是勉勵員工在這些墻上塗鴉,成果有些員工在上面亂寫亂畫,而非藝術創作。

  馬丁內斯寫道:“誰人周末紮克伯格又發了一封致全部員工的電子郵件(大概這封電子郵件宣布在Facebook全部員工在的內部群組裏),其要點是:我信賴你們,讓你們去搞藝術創作,成果你們卻在任意損壞。”

  Facebook談話人沒有對這些爆料揭櫫批評。

  Female workers at Facebook were routinely told not to wear clothing that “distracted” co-workers, a former employee has claimed.

  Antonio Garcia Martinez, who was fired after two years at Mark Zuckerberg’s social network, has made a series of sensational claims about the company in a tell-all book about life in Silicon Valley.

  Martinez’s book paints a picture of Zuckerberg as prone to bouts of anger, and claims that female workers were repeatedly criticised for inappropriate clothing.

  “Our male HR authority, with occasional backup from his female counterpart, launched into a speech about avoiding clothing that ‘distracted’ coworkers. I’d later learn that managers did in fact occasionally pull aside female employees and read them the riot act,” Martinez claims in his book, Chaos Monkeys.

  “One such example happened in [the advertising department], with an intern who looked about sixteen coming in regularly in booty shorts. It was almost laughably inappropriate, but such was our disinhibited age.”

  Facebook and many other Silicon Valley companies have long been accused of a male-dominated workplace culture. 68 percent of employees are men, according to its latest diversity report, and 84 percent in technology roles. Ex workers have also claimed that allegations of sexism are not taken seriously at the company.

  Martinez’s book also claims that Sheryl Sandberg – Facebook’s chief operating officer and a high-profile feminist – once lambasted Dan Rubinstein, a senior engineer, for a crude joke.

  When Rubinstein was demonstrating an algorithm that filtered out explicit photos, Sandberg stopped him to ask why all the demo photos in the presentation were of kittens.

  “Dan flatly replied, ‘We use kittens as the bad photos in demos, because the real bad photos are...you know...kind of obscene.’” Martinez claims.

  Sandberg then reportedly asked: “Right, but why kittens and not something else?”.

  According to Martinez: “Dan looked up at the screen as if noticing the kitten pics for the first time, and then turned to Sheryl and answered, almost under his breath: 'Well...for demo purposes we don’t show really bad photos...so the engineers use kittens instead. Because, you know...kittens and cats are like, pu-'

  “'Got it!' she expectorated. After sucking in a lungful of air, as if loading for a verbal barrage, she continued. ‘If there were women on that team, they’d NEVER, EVER choose those photos as demo pics. I think you should change that immediately!’”

  Martinez also claims that Zuckerberg was prone to angry outbursts. After an unknown employee leaked details of a new feature to the press, Zuckerberg reportedly emailed the entire office with the subject line “Please resign”, claiming that the person in question had betrayed the team.

  Zuckerberg was also reportedly furious at the state of the walls at Facebook’s headquarters, which employees are encouraged to draw on, after employees had scribbled over them, rather than creating art.

  “That weekend Zuck sent another to-all email (or maybe it was posted in the general Facebook internal group to which everyone belonged), the gist being: I trusted you to create art, and what you f*****s did was vandalize the place,” Martinez wrote.

  A Facebook spokesman did not comment on the allegations.
