I work with women who instantly click with guys - like they're performing this whole "cool girl" act, laughing extra hard at jokes, and acting like they're not like other women. But then they'll give me and other women these cold, dismissive looks or completely ignore us. Is this some calculated strategy to stand out, or do they genuinely see other women as threats?

I try to remind myself that sometimes women who act like that might not have felt safe around other women in the past. It doesn’t excuse it, but it helps me not take it personally. But yes, I get why it feels so off-putting.

I’ve seen it and I just brush it off. If it is some amazing calculated strategy, good for them. Either way doesn’t mean much to me. Don’t give people the time of day who won’t do the same for you.

What title for this job description?
I want to switch roles from a creative director who oversees all aspects of the company’s creative (marketing campaigns and brand building mostly; also production, performance marketing ads, product design, managing design team) to focusing 100% on building our brand, educating both customers and employees about our value prop. I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?

How would you respond to this note sent home on my toddler’s daily report from her in-home daycare provider. Mind you she didn’t say anything to me in person about this. Plus my daughter started saying “no daycare, no friends” when we tell her it’s time to go / ask her if she wants to see her friends.
