I have been tremendously lucky in my career, but I have absolutely seen men get paid more for the same or less work with the same or fewer qualifications and I have seen men praised as geniuses for behavior that gets me called a bitch.
I've seen men praised as geniuses for arriving at work two hours after me, then heading out for an early lunch, before arriving back just in time to wish me goodnight.
Not recently though, since I generally work from home now.
I have a manager right now who does not do this and who will aggressively fight anyone who tries, and itβs an absolute sea change. I will do basically anything to stay her direct report.
Same. There are three men on my team of 18 people and the number of advancements among the three of them is higher than the number among the 15 women. One of them has been promoted three times in the past 5 years.
Talk about serendipity. Earlier today, I was just thinking about one of those mediocre fools. Wondering how many co-workers he got fired between his incompetent meddling and his shield from consequences by over impressed higher-ups. #Sigh π«€
Mm hm. And many of those same men snipe and sneer at their well-qualified and knowledge female colleagues, and it is VERY CLEAR that itβs because they know the women are superior.
