I think you’ve nailed a really common and underlying insidious issue that agencies don’t talk about. This should be a criticism that gets elevated at all of our agencies and thank you for articulating it
Ahhhhhhhhh. That makes me so upset. I wish you could say where this takes place so I could avoid it at all costs (though I’ve experienced this mentality at very highly ranked agencies).
Eek I wish I could but being one of two biz dev at my agency would def make it quite obvious who I was lol
When I was told snide remarks I'd hit back and challenge my ECD/CCO in a snarky way. So next time try, flipping the script and say if we staff with women there would be no need to "balance" them out. If you're in a position to even be privy to those decisions, use your power to call them out and tilt the balance; eventually they'll get it.
Love this - thank you!
Tell them it’s 2019 and all “dream teams” should have women and men
Don’t participate in that crap unless you’re actually passionate about it.
