I was talking to a female VP on my team right outside of a mtg we were about to enter. A male on my team who is at my level says "these two are late, too busy talking about purses." I snapped real quick "yeah we're not gonna do that sexist bullshit." I often think about how I probably would have kept my mouth shut if he was higher up.

Department head once 'jokingly' referred to me as a call girl...in front of three senior female clients no less. Gross. As if the fact that he was a total hack wasn't embarrassing enough to the agency.

At my last job, they were moving all of the creatives in a room together instead of individual offices to encourage collaboration. While I didn't have a problem with the idea in theory, it turned out that the only male creative was allowed to stay in an office because no one wanted to work with him (attitude). So that room inadvertently got dubbed the "girl power room"... rewarding the guy with the worse attitude with his own office. 🙄 I've also been on multiple photo/video shoots with directors that really have no filter and spent way too much time ogling the talent and making obscene comments. They had 0 chill around me and it was disgusting. It got to the point where I wouldn't even wear a skirt or dress to work because I was afraid of the comments they'd make behind my back.

Yes. I had a male Exec Producer once say "so decisive" to me when I was just agreeing with someone. I asked another male coworker afterwards to get his perspective, "do you think I'm indecisive"? He said "no" and I could tell he knew what I was referring to. I later slacked this EP and told him to not speak to me that way. Told him that he and I haven't worked together, so he doesn't know me or how I work, and that I am quite decisive. Told him when he says things like that in front of my peers, it makes it look like I am indecisive, which is inappropriate on his part. He was all apologetic, but I seriously doubt he meant it. He was probably more worried about covering his ass than changing his behavior.

Talent unexpectedly held me inappropriately close and forced me to dance with him while my team, client team, photographer's team, AND his management looked on and laughed. I was visibly uncomfortable, so embarrassed and felt so violated, and one of the senior clients told me "that's just how he is." The incident was recorded and played at a company meeting as a "highlight" so I could relive my shame and humiliation in front of my entire agency. Boys will be boys.

The young creative team with one aa woman and a going white female presented their work. I (39 female) and the secondary client (female) stayed silent all if the call cause there were already enough people talking and the lead client only wanted to hear from the other male co workers. What made me sad...

I don't understand why people in TCS are so scared of their managers. Just for sake of ratings and pay band people have made this organisation morally corrupt. I have been working since 2 years in TCS took transfer within 1 month of joining. Switched 3 project in 2 years worked on my conditions 9 hours means 9 hours don't give a damn whether people will like it or not. And I can proudly say that because of this reason I got targetted many times but my Personal & Professional Life is balanced.

I have been in a career where I have to communicate to both external and internal stakeholders, especially for the past 6.5 years. This is mostly in person, I’m a trainer by professional and if I have to be honest I hate talking to groups of people or to someone new I haven’t met before because I’m an introvert and I have been told I’m a great communicator, it’s my strength however I still struggle with confidence and get nervous before meeting a client. Anyone got suggestions I could use?

I’ve been leading a massive project by myself for the last year almost and my boss torpedoed my last round of meetings: “oh we don’t need to socialize this, I’ve been doing it, let’s just kick it off.” Okay. So turns out, no one fucking knew and now because we had one meeting instead of two, the people we met with aren’t even the ones doing the work, and they’re not telling the ones who are supposed to do the work about it. So I now need to go back and do more meetings.

I’m currently working at a law firm in San Diego specializing in coastal property rights as a litigation paralegal and legal assistant. We received a minute order from a preliminary injunction hearing. Our client was ordered to post an injunction bond of $2,500. First our client walked to the courthouse to try to pay the bond up front, but they would not accept his money. He tried to call several bond companies, but all said the amount was too small. So how do you post an injunction bond?
