Anyone know anything about LDWW?
Prosecution is considering charging the parents of the student that committed the school shooting in Michigan. The parents just bought the gun and if the parents were negligent in storing / locking up the gun I think this is a very reasonable move.
I don't think parents are responsible when the school shooter gets the weapons outside of the house or when the parents have made a minimum effort to secure their weapons. But the school had just met with them on son's behavior too.
Thoughts?

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.
But don’t outshine them too hard, you don’t want to crush fragile egos 😉
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.
The number one cause of death for pregnant people in the US is homicide.
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.
Misogyny is too common. Look at the last US election. Document everything and find your allies.
