What about moonshot goals of 50% female employees and 40% female in management leadership roles.

Bring a white middle aged male is not a help!
I’ll never see a promotion again!
From the above article
“Even now, Dell asserts that it did nothing wrong, and cites technicalities in its defense. This highlights the problem with companies with great policies on paper: they look good for the C-Suite, but they don't trickle down to the shop floor. My message to big companies with great policies on paper is that we will not let you treat us this way. People are more important than paper.
“Dell asserts they did nothing wrong” this is the driving force that they force feed all employees with how progressive the company is and how they have an LGBTQ group and monthly or sometimes more often events for it.
All lip service but actions speak volumes of what his company really is.
A dinosaur looking for a tar pit to fall into and become extinct.

My bet is that you didn’t read the article… this has nothing to do with performance. They fired her for being unable to do business travel due to medical appointments, which is bs, especially when we don’t hold leadership to the same standards (I’ve seen VPs vanish for months at a time to go on vacation to “find themselves” and such… why is it only ok when a manager wants to be unable to travel for a limited period of time?)
It says she was fired because treatments interfered with business travel, which was supposedly an essential part of the job… these past two years proved that there’s almost no such thing as a job you can’t do remotely at Dell, so it’s no wonder that the courts sided against Dell’s made-up excuse here.
Gender-related harassment at Dell is unfortunately quite common so I’m glad to see someone standing up to it.
I’m not buying it that they discriminated. I don’t care how you slice it, if you are not contributing as much as your peers then you fall to the bottom of the list. That makes you vulnerable if layoffs happen. My bet is that is what happened.
it probably could've been avoided if her Manager and Managers manager and HR had a clue on how to manage
Goood job management
The law didn't see it that way or Dell needs to get better lawyers and how many Dell employees do you think actually are productive in their job vs slack off?
My money is on the latter.
61 year old trans.. So she decided to do the transitioning just before retiring at the expense of Dell. How many lines of code and what kind of algorithms did Cecilia write at that year? Give me a break, clearly Cecilia is the mountebank here.
