Picture this: you're a software engineer at a prestigious tech company, and one of only two women in your department. Frustration is mounting, and you're asked to be on a panel at a recruiting event. When a young woman asks if the company has a supportive environment for women in engineering, your male colleagues jump in to speak on your behalf. What would you do? 🤔 Well, one woman decided to speak her truth and expose the reality of her experience. But was it the right move? Let's dive into the story. 🍿

The Aftermath: Was She Right or Wrong? 🤷♀️
So, our fearless female engineer spoke her truth, but faced backlash from her male coworkers. They argued that the panel wasn't the place for her to air her grievances, but she stood her ground, stating that her supervisor was already aware of the issues. While she worries about potential fallout at work, she also received appreciation from a fellow woman in the industry. Was she right to speak up, or should she have kept quiet? Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 🌐💬
