Anyone else struggling with moving forward I. Their company? I work with three men and two women, the two women are not in my department but the three men are. It feels like I am being held back simply because I am female. I have done everything they have done and I work three times harder then two of them. Just really frustrated at this point.

Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean that you should be held back or have to deal with everything else that the men don’t want to deal with. You are highly skilled professional not an administrative person who does crap work. If you’re feeling stuck, look outside your company for another job. Netwerk on LinkedIn, Don’t ever stay in a row more than 2 to 3 years. You’ll get behind in salary and it will be much harder to move or leave to advance. For reference I’ve been in a male dominated industry for over 25 years and have had to fight for roles, titles, and salary. companies are doing better, but in no way are women 100% equal to male counterparts regardless of what an HR person would say. Good luck!

Yep, my company is very small <50 people. I am the only woman in a highly technical role. I take on the most difficult clients and the projects no one wants to deal with. I completed my Master of Engineering while working full time. I received a “good job” and a copy of my diploma taped to the fridge as a reward.

Yes. Unfortunately, that exists. I've worked in male dominated fields most of my life. Some companies are better run than others when it comes to these situations.

True I keep getting passed by because I am a female and get no credit for what I do. The higher ups take my ideas and put them to use and take the credit for it .

Yep, I just got passed over on a position that I was told would be mine because I took off to take care of my baby that had come down with RSV and pneumonia. The other female tech that was in the shop quit before Thanksgiving.

You may need to find a better company and position. Life is too short to have to deal with nonsense.

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?

⚠️Toxicity Alert ⚠️

My previous manager would track us by hours daily, made a fuss everytime anything stretched and guilt us for that and the unplanned leave too unless it was COVID. Hinted him a lot of time, this is problematic but apparently he considered it "standard practice for agile".

Now 8/10 teammates have switched within < 1 year of project start (6-7 months with him) which tbh had good work in our opinion and even team was fun to work with even though none of us ever met in person.

My boss (atty) is so disorganized! I’ve been with him 6 months and he’s having a hard time delegating, sharing info and managing deadlines. I’ve organized the caseload to manage the deadlines. He says he wants me to help with discovery but when I offer to start on one, he says he needs to do it. (Since he might have to present as evidence) When I give him deadlines and ask for the docs he says he’ll get to it. It’s a small 1 man firm, and I’m the first assistant besides his wife. Any advice?
