[melbourne-pug] Fwd: Senior Python Developer, Sydney to Silicon Valley

[Pomke Nohkan]

Hiya Anthony,

It's a scene that portrays the rampant homophobia and abuse in the military
at that time in the US. I think the take home message about it being on
their careers page is that in the best case scenario, they (grokvod) have no
grasp of diversity issues at all.  Worst case it is a deliberate,
not-so-subtle message to perspective employees that anyone other than
'straight white males' need not apply.
