Surprisingly good read, only distracted by a bit of her self aggrandizing.

Susan Fowler had her 15 minutes, or more like about 2 years of fame when her blog post about the internal horrible practices going on at Uber. She brought to light and confirmed the sad truth of the dishonest, greedy, factory-like people mill that Silicon Valley has become.

I feel we need more of these stories, all of these stories, so we are lucky that she was willing to tell this story. There was probably a lot of personal pain Susan endured to relive some of her terrible experiences. Uber HR was just a shield for management, not a safe place for employees to try to be treated fairly.

My only criticism was her several stories about how she was a super-human who could learn any subject in a few months, deserved several “extra” college degrees and even felt she was a super-engineer no matter what. Could’ve done with less of that.

However, this book is pretty amazing, and her contribution to helping women in tech seek equality cannot be underestimated.
