in a group for women in product from when I did a lot of TPMing

recent post is from a woman in F500 who feels like keeping track of trends, etc. is too much in her 40s

other woman comments: "have you considered retiring? I don& #39;t know many still working in their 40s and 50s"

why am I even still in this group?

it& #39;s always completely off the rails

y& #39;all think the women-in-eng backchannels are wild just wait

at least in eng there& #39;s a separate technical track

entirely an option to turn 40, get a short haircut, start wearing collared shirts, continue writing questionable code indefinitely

in these PM groups it& #39;s like if you& #39;re not a VP or at least a director by 40 you& #39;re human trash
