    And they all were normal technical IT stuff before.

    When it comes to appreciation, there might be something in it.
    Here we don't have so many women on "low level" IT positions (not managers), so we actually "have to" appreciate those that we have.

    Maybe if we didn't they would leave? Who knows? We'd rather not to try!
    There is disdain for managers in the IT world though. They're not the ones dealing with the tech. "Non-technical paper-pushers" is how I'd describe how they're seen. I've seen women tech managers described as having "escaped" tech.
