I’m not the bottom two, that much I know.
I can’t grow a beard… oh no.A little “narrow minded” here leaving out the Indians, Mexicans, Eastern European, and Chinese.
Didn’t realize those nationalities were exclusive with these categories.
Do I have to choose one of this?
You can’t be everything at samw time???
The superposition IT guy
Chances are that you are like three of those at least if you have to ask
Is that a zebra.
They’re a fluffy dragon, white fur with black fur pattern
Do furries mind if you pet them
I think you’d have to ask the person. I wore a dragon suit for a play, and I would have disliked anyone (except the people I was crushing on) petting me.
What’s the stereotype with top right?
Asking because if I had to lump myself somewhere, it’s that one.
But if it sucks… I guess I’ll go wear a sailor uniform.
The “lumberjack” style / hipster.
Yeah thanks Gilfoyle!
Ew… Gross.
I’ll wear the femboi outfit.
Well now you’re just gonna attract bears.
Why are there 3 or 4 pictures of Vaush?
We have two IT guys, one of them is three of these and the other is the fourth. The guy who is all three is actually the anime girl on VR Chat in his spare time :)
I’m guessing the other guy’s a furry then.
Both are, just one is in denial
But, like, are there types of IT women? Asking cause I am one and don’t know any tropes for us lol
Every IT woman I’ve worked with kicks ass and is really cool, doesn’t realize how cool and inspiring they are. Until management, then I have no idea how they got there, they can’t seem to use a computer let alone assist with IT related decision making.
I would love to fit that description and I hope my coworkers think I’m cool lol. I never want to be in a position of power in this field because I have already dealt with enough dumb bullshit on the daily lol
Go forth and forge your own destiny, free of stereotypes. Or just be Alex from YIIK idk.
Unicorn… Nah, I’m kidding fortunately for women there’s no strong stereotypes. There were enough women in my gigs that the individuality was easily apparent.
Since that’s isn’t really fun I’ll pull some very broad strokes descriptions out my rear end and see which one resonates with you.
The Professional Mom: 8-4:30 on the dot but maximum effort during working hours and never ever seen goofing off or chit chatting (lunch included). Pretty chill though and smart as hell.
The boardgame/crossword girl: most likely to be gender fluid. Don’t ever mistake her for “gamer girl”. Will happily shoot the shit with you and goof off if you treat her like human being. Will probably have real experiences of getting work/credit stolen by tech bros.
The optimistic young coder: super jazzed about being the in the field and learning everything about anything. A people pleaser to a fault. Give it two to three years before she’s completely jaded. Until then, an absolute sponge of knowledge.
The cut throat career track woman: absolutely obsessed with advancing her status. Tech bros learn brutality from these ladies. Usually transition to pure management or product divisions pretty early. Also most likely to organize the “women in tech” meetings for clout in the current company. Stay on their good side for your sake.
That’s me
Can I please have a number 3 + number 4?
… it’s mostly the top left.
Source: i resemble the top left (although i still have my hairline)
it needs more bottom left
It’s 90% of the IT people at my jobs and I had quite a few.
I was like fuck that’s me. My hairline isn’t great but I’m in my early 50s.
“Men are dominating IT”
The “men” “dominating”:
Dominate me daddy uwu
Also hello, the fuck is wrong with your laptop this time
What?
He asked what the fuck was wrong with your laptop this time.
Yeah I just didn’t understand what he meant? I use a Thinkpad, it has quite literally never had a (hardware) problem.
Did you try installing arch on it and turning it off and on again? Are you sure the cables are plugged in properly? Can you double check for me pls?
Ah thats the problem, im using Alpine :3
Doesn’t have the guy who seems to always be asleep at the desk but is also somehow the most efficient IT worker.
Why do you think they have time to sleep?
If IT is doing everything right then most of the time there won’t be much for them to do. I’d much rather they spent most of their time waiting for incident tickets than constantly putting out fires.
I generally sleep during the day, skips the useless meetings. Then I go to the office around 8pm and crank out profit for my corporate overlords. They (mostly) understand it’s better for them this way, and I meet all the expectations of office attendance and social gatherings.
…hello
OwO
