GenZ PM (21M) disrespected our best engineer(29F)

We recently let go of a male PM intern who was being disrespectful to the allocated mentor. She is literally one of the best engineers we have ever hired. She extremely senior and it is a shame that this new generation of GenZ PMs inspired by Andrew T*te say all of these misogynistic things.

The constant bickering around design practices + Product Frameworks + unnecessary jira verbosity was super unproductive for our teams honestly. It is a shame that Women in Tech have to face this.

What do you expect after hiring kids at PM roles? Kids should be allowed anywhere near any kind of "management" roles.

I have seen most SDEs don't understand how important a PM is. Grow up. Let go of your techie ego. Know that a 21 year old has more impact.

PM roles must never be given to intern. Not even with 2 years experience. Atleast 3-5 years relevant experience . These people do some google certification not even PMP and think they are Managers.

What exactly happened? Was it sexist or pure incompetence? I want to understand the underlying motivations of this intern

  • was it or is it a pattern (anecdotally) with newer batch of PM’s?
  • does it mean that women face harsher consequences/reactions with people across opposite gender or generations or skill? (I know they do, just understanding a larger perspective)
  • does this intern have a culture round as a proxy? I am aware it doesn’t help to know everyone about a person but can gauge.
  • what’s the faff was he preaching across the process?

If an interaction between two people hampered your team’s productivity, then your team have bigger problems than an intern. You are a bunch of adults who should know better that a senior engineer would deal with it herself. But hey, ‘a kid “disrespected “ a senior engineer and there goes my day’s work’. Hint: you seem to be the immature party in all of this.
