People might say blondes may have more fun, but the look wasn't working for Eileen Carey. The co-founder of software company Glassbreakers claims she recently dyed her naturally golden locks dark brown to repel unwanted workplace advances in her male-dominated industry. "Being a brunette helps me to look a bit older and I needed that, I felt, in order to be taken seriously," Carey added. According to a 2016 study, 60 percent of women working in tech in Silicon Valley say they have experienced unwanted sexual advances. As stories continue to break on sexual harassment and discrimination in tech companies, from Uber to Google and beyond, the CEO urges women to remember that they have a choice about where they work, and should never tolerate harassment.
