DO MEN design cultures that negatively affect women because they are evil, or don’t know any better. Average % of female Partners at MBB according to ChatGPT = 25%. Yikes. But the average % of female partners at ghSMART = 55%! And 6 out of 10 of our highest billers are women. Why? I’ll reveal non-obvious design elements of the ghSMART culture that will blow your mind. It’s how you would design a culture.

Interested to see what you, as a male, think makes a culture good for women. And, if that is really culture or benefits ( hint is working remotely a benefit or culture?). Since your business is primarily soft skills oriented, it does not surprise me that women are your top producers - they are way better at soft skills. And, women outsell men across pretty much across every field - so your company is not unique. Lot's of reason's why, not the least of which is most of the people buying are still men.

So never circling back to “reveal” those non-obvious insights that will blow our minds……..women love that in a CEO

Thanks for the reminder. Sorry. Forgot about you.
Here is how we do it.
1) You can CHOOSE how much you want to work and get paid accordingly. Nobody else does that. Not MBB.
2) You can CHOOSE to go up or not on your time frame. We don’t do “up or out.”
3) WFA! Work from anywhere.
Women and Men love all that. It allows very high performing professionals to maximize on impact, money, freedom & flexibility, and the ability to have a life. It’s not for everybody. It’s hard still. But it’s your life. Your choices.

To me, these awesome cultural design elements are mindblowingly obvious, but yet are uncommon practice among top firms. What do you think? Pretty cool, eh? Like how YOU would design a culture?

How much is too much when pushing for a raise? I’ve been in my position a little over 1 year, received top scores in my annual review, kept my team intact, yet I’m paid at the lowest salary band for my level. Manager has said multiple times she would look into a raise for me but nothing has happened. Person before me in this role was earning +$17K than me. How many times do I have to ask?

I got laid off but due to the WARN act, I am still on the payroll for a while. If a background check is done to look at employment history, do they see my official working end date, or the day I am off the payroll?

My director gave me a 45 day termination warning. I had a random 1:1 with my director last Friday. She essentially told me I have 45 days to increase my activity (I’m a recruiter that gets measured on daily metrics.) After the 45 days if I don’t meet these requirements I will be terminated. As you can imagine I am panicking a little bit, I’ve confided in a few coworkers and they told me to start looking for a new job because even if I meet these metrics I could still be fired. Any advice?
