A lot of tech companies don't advertise their smaller offices. There's history of people hanging out near them and harassing/stalking employees on their way in or out. Not sure of any specific incident w/ the Microsoft office in question, but it's talked about in a lot of the big tech companies.

“No.” Is a complete sentence. And she doesn’t need to be nice or polite to strangers who are obviously being creepy or she’s just not interested in speaking to. These are things I wish I knew sooner. Also, if she’s uncomfortable or not being left alone, trying to identify another women she can approach and ask if she can sit near them until her stop. Usually we’re aware when other women are uncomfortable. I hope this doesn’t break her spirit or her confidence!
