He wasn't part of it at all.

And he was like, the PR was like, you are just not visible enough.

Like your title is not high enough for us to put it on the article.

And I'm like,

That fucking sucks.

But I get it, I guess, because you want a headline for a director level and above, not an IC.

So that sucked.

But I think other players, like a lot of my Asian girlfriends who work in tech...

confide in me that their, I don't know, male coworkers would tag that other people who are probably in positions of more budget, more power, more roles so that they get the visibility.

And when there's less people, it's easier to see who's, you know, there's like a whole, like, you know, in research, your first primary name, secondary name, that position matters tremendously.

So it's kind of like that.

And I, I think it's really an optics play of like, if there's less people, I've done more of the work and, and,

Sorry, there's only so many people I can shout out.

Yeah, so that people feel slighted, but no one brings it up because it's awkward to bring up and be like, hey, how come my name's not on here?

One of my friends did bring it up like on a recent big tech, like one of the big players last year where she worked on a huge project and her name was not listed.

And then they were like, sorry, we just only could put the execs on.

But the ICs were posting knowing that she was the only one left out.

And I'm like, wow, that's some bullshit.

Oh, individual contributor.

Okay.
