Coming days after very scathing allegations about the corporate culture at Uber and the claims of numerous incidents of sexual harassment from a female ex-Uber engineer Square\u2019s CFO speaks out about the \u201csystemic problem\u201d that exists in the tech industry. Square\u2019s CFO Sarah Friar notes that there is a large problem with sexism in not just the tech industry, but also in other industries as well. She noted that at Square to counteract this issue there is a culture of inclusiveness that the company\u2019s employees and its merchants who use their products are a part of. The lack of women in tech and the sexual harassment that happens has been a known issue for quite some time. Sexual harassment is not limited to the tech industry and I agree it is a systemic issue. My mother started her own construction company in the 1980s and faced sexual harassment even as a business owner from other companies\u2019 workers when she first started. It is a problem that will change as more women enter certain fields, but will also require work from everybody to make sure that it does not occur.<\/p>\n
