As some of you know, there is an odd sexualization going on here at work in my department, since the vast majority of workers here are women...and I just found this annoying post here:

A friend of mine just sent me this message that we can now chat with the G00g1e Girls Live. It seems that all of the account reps are female and now they have added an option to email or chat with an Adwords Rep to see if they can help you spend some more of your money.

a / s / L ?


Sadly, seems techie geeks are just as sexist as men at large - how condescending is it to call them 'G00g1e Girls'?? I hear horrible stories about women here getting hit on all the time by the clients they work with. They have to put up with it for the sake of customer service. What's worse is that these are all really smart, hard-working, successful women who deserve mad respect, not derogatory little remarks like this.
