Safe to say, Fowler isn’t interested.

Ugghhh Yeah – awkward, indeed. Looking into how your name ended up on the list.

PoweToFly’s cofounder Katharine Zaleski said that she’s not sure how Fowler’s email got into her company’s database, but that she shouldn’t have been sent that email regardless. Per her explanation, PowerToFly has several sets of email lists and Fowler was on a list one of people who hadn’t opted in to the company’s service. Therefore, she should not have been sent an email about new job listings. Zaleski notes that it’s ironic that this happened, because without Fowler’s landmark blog post her company probably wouldn’t even be working with Uber. To Fowler she says, “Thank you and I’m sorry I spammed you.”

That said, there are a lot of people and organizations doing good work to make sure that workplaces are more inclusive of a wider variety of people. Next time, use better targeting.
