Spotify has been accused of turning a blind eye to sexism in its workplace. Former sales executive Hong Perez has sued the streaming service over allegations that male execs have perpetuated systemic gender discrimination. The global head of sales reportedly provided higher compensation (including equity) to men, while multiple male executives received little punishment (and in one case, a promotion) despite sexual harassment claims.
On top of this, Perez described an overall hostile work culture, particularly from US sales head (and her boss) Brian Berner. He allegedly chose only men for drug-addled "boys' trips" to the Sundance Film Festival in 2016 and 2017, excluding women who were better-qualified for the ostensibly work-oriented visits. He also purportedly scapegoated Perez after getting in trouble over a buyer deal and taking free Madison Square Garden tickets, getting her fired for conduct violations that were really his.
Pereze added that she'd raised concerns over the lack of anti-harassment action with Spotify's human resources team before she left.
In a statement, Spotify claimed it doesn't tolerate discrimination "at any level" but simultaneously insisted Perez's lawsuit was "without merit."

No kidding, but considering that being a cuckolded white-knight male that brainlessly & blindingly taking the "her" side in any situation is "the thing" now, it's not a surprise so many people are defending this poor, defenseless, unprivileged, discriminated female.
The people on here that are trying to defend her unfounded sexist tantrum are no better than the sissy men who think Asia Argento was a poor, defenseless, confused, woman who couldn't control her actions as she was manipulated and seduced by a boy 20 years her junior. Or the ones that defend poor defend Nikki Yovino, even when her lies destroyed the future potential lives of two men.

And the hilarious bit is, they're not even going laid for doing so. Chicks who dig men dig men not minions. A frat boy has a better chance of nailing one of the blue-haired darlings than all of her favorite incel betas put together.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
