How do we let women get fair opportunities to the top when women bosses themselves allow junior female coworkers to be exploited for their gender to please clients?

The fact that some women are sexist (as are some men) doesn’t mean women shouldn’t get to the top. We don’t say “some men are sexist so no men should get to the top”. Sexist people shouldn’t get to the top

I believe they’re referred to as “madams” in that case?

I’m not clear what your saying? Is it “how can attractive young women be successful by using their attractiveness”?

Not following....you just stated how men have an inherent disadvantage....

“Exploited for their gender to please clients” - just what have you been asked to do?

Op, can you please explain your statement?

OP - are you asking about finding ways for women to move up the ladder through fair means without having to use their looks and sex appeal to gain positions and work their way up?

I mean, that’s the strategy of pretty much every girl that I know. It’s pretty hard to distinguish yourself when you’re in a large pool of equally capable people.

“We let women get fair opportunities” is more sexist than anything else in your statement

My ASM is lazy and is incapable of doing the easiest basic tasks with recruitment. She receives all my end of day updates, is cc’d on all emails, makes me fill out 5 repetitive excel/smart sheet, and joins all my meetings but she still wants to call having me 5x daily about updates. I’m always the one to go to if other recruiters fail to meet client deadlines and cleaning up recruiters mistakes. How do I even handle this to begin with?

What do you wish design students would learn in school to ease the transition into needs of business? I have seen an increasing need for more education/inclusion/overlap into other areas of business that depend on design teams so they understand what goes into the process. As well as design teams into the other business teams. This would alleviate tensions and improve quality product delivery due to the major miscommunications that occur so frequently.

I am frustrated as a Gay Woman who has given her all for 30+ years grinding to be the best. I have been in closet, out of closet, in-between and am tired of it. I want to be VALUED as a human being.

I have trained men with less experience, worse results only for them to move forward. If Diversity is important...prove it!

How should I voice my concern?
