“I think I see one, maybe two, women in these photos? I wonder what the workforce will look like going forward, especially with the "work long hours" memo…,” on user wrote.

 

 

“No gender equality in the selfie. Did you fire all the women?,” wrote another

 

 

“Not too many ladies there. They couldn’t commit to your call for long/hard hours? Not surprising for moms/primary caregivers…,” said another.

“Very less female employee, how you can maintain diversity without female employee?,” asked another.

 

 

“You seriously need to get more women in, maybe Twitter wouldn’t have become a hotbed for child rape; revenge porn; sexual exploitation if it wasn’t such a boys club…,” one user slammed Twitter for the availability of objectionable content on the platform, an issue that was recently in the news.
