Have you ever faced jealousy from another woman at work? There's not a lot of us, so I don't get it.

They say it's something we're taught to do, claw around at the bottom and keep each other down instead of pushing back against the system that only makes space for a few of us. Keep it moving and keep it positive is my mantra.

I have but it was from a leader! She was jealous of my ability to quickly grasp concepts and how likeable I was.

I'm lucky enough to say, I have only had pleasant experiences with the women I have worked with. But I have witnessed some catty disagreements. It's really a shame.

It unfortunately confirms stereotypes about women.

I've actually experienced more jealous behavior from men!

I have experienced this many places I have been. I don't get it one bit. We should be spending time building each other up, not tearing one another down.

I wanna say engineer women have been all right and I did not run into any issues with them. Catty women do not seem to pursue engineering - go figure. Women in other roles can definitely get catty and jealous especially of female engineers.

I just moved teams within my agency, and had the jarring realization that every single person on the day-to-day business (across account, strategy, and creative, 12+ ppl) is white. I am also white.

I’m getting the chance to hire somebody new for the team. Hopefully you can see where I’m going with this: how do I talk to HR - who clearly does not recognize this is a thing, or doesn’t consider it a problem - about the need to find some POC candidates for this role and in general?
