feature: “twitter engineering manager leslie miley leaves company because of diversity issues”

As reported by TechCrunch, Twitter Engineering Manager Leslie Miley (pictured) has left the company regarding issues with diversity and inclusivity. TechCrunch states, “Twitter’s workforce consists of 1% African-Americans and 3% Hispanics in the U.S., and 13% women worldwide, according to its latest diversity report. Miley argues that Twitter’s issues with growth and engagement are related to the company’s issues with diversity. “For some at Twitter, diversity is an obstruction to avoid,” Miley wrote. “With my departure, Twitter no longer has any managers, directors, or VP’s of color in engineering or product management. From this position, Twitter may find it difficult to make the changes to culture and product.”” I’m sure many of you Twitter aficionados were oblivious to this, right? I sure was.
