Are you a victim of this? I just found out recently that a male co-worker, who does exactly the same work and amount of work as me, was offered a promotion. It makes no sense why I wasn't because I mean it when I say we take up the same load. It's truly unfair that we have these barriers to advancement. What do the other ladies on the bowl have to say regarding this topic?

Fairly common unfortunately. Women have to prove themselves twice as hard to get half as far.

Definitely ask about it, let them know you are interested and find out how to collaborate to put together a plan/path to promotion

We have to work twice as hard and be twice as productive to be on the path to promotions.
I would also make sure upon hire at any company going forward that you have a clear path to promotions within that company and that they understand this is what you want. They either will provide that path or they won’t but either way you have a clear understanding of where you are at then.

Unfortunately a lot of times women have to be better and outshine men even if we are doing just as well as them. Our performance has to be exceptional in certain organizations to get what we deserve so that managers literally cannot deny us a promotion. Either that or you have to make yourself invaluable so they don’t want you to walk to get the promotion you deserve. I personally haven’t ever had this experience but I am black and it’s the same for that too unfortunately.

I’m shocked by your shock. Of course this is still happening. Idk where you live, but I live in America. Where sexism is alive and well. Where men in power are actively trying to treat women like second class citizens.

Definitely advocate for yourself, but don’t be afraid to find a new job for more money either.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I would definitely bring it up to whoever is concerned and ask about it. On a personal front, I've never faced this... at least not yet. I do work at an amazing company and most of us who work there feel the same way.

As a third year experienced associate, I am up for promotion this year. I know for a fact that all the managers and directors whom I have worked with are very supportive of my promotion. I had perfect snapshots with performance differentiators. But my utilization and over time has been lower than the required metric. It was around ~82% and only ~150 hrs of over time. Should I still be hoping for the promotion or should I start looking out for better opportunities?
