I see being a woman in leadership never gets easy and you will always have to speak up for what’s right for you!
As a person in leadership how do you handle situations where you feel like you’re getting the short end of the stick?

I think a big part of it is just not caring what people think of me anymore. If they think I am rude or demanding or difficult, oh well. I'd rather be all of those things than be a pushover, or always putting my needs last. A big part of being a woman in leadership is just letting go of controlling the narrative about what people say about you.

It’s not that they power over us it’s just we tend to show our emotions more and the moment they make us feel some type of way we’re ready to show them they got us messed up

I have no problem standing up for myself and using my voice to be honest. I learned a long time ago that nobody is going to stand up for me but me. It can be challenging being a woman in leadership but I make sure my voice gets heard.

I can only speak for what I see and most times men do have it easier

I TRY to ensure that I treat everyone equally. Do I always succeed? Heck, no. I am human.

But I do love finding someone that works for me that has a problem with women in charge. Because they are working with a woman running their shift and/or training them until they either change their attitud or leave.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me.
