If I ever hear the argument "we shouldn't push this person, she has an excellent chance at promotion to start with and she'll additionally benefit from the Diversity targets" as an argument to OPPOSE someone's promotion, I may scream!

Insight of my day: some of my colleagues are both sexist and quite petty.

If this weren't a candidate I already support, I'd now be pushing this promotion just to piss them off!

... still so upset about this one I could cry tears of rage!

So, I've decided to "seek guidance" from senior leadership on the topic.

That'll be PC for "go tell on their arses" for the rest of us ...

Sorry, not sorry!

OP is this allowed? Someone has earned a promo and then having documented evidence of someone denying it?

I was just coming here to say you should report this. This should absolutely not go unchecked by the company.

What do you mean by “push” this person?

McK1, it's actually our gender diversity target in this case ...

... but I'd be happy to bet that they'd pull the same crap on race, too, if the opportunity arose.

Yes, they're insecure. Sad, mediocre men who who feel desperately threatened by anyone younger and talented coming up the ranks! Especially women!

As I like to say: if you're that threatened by someone so much more junior ... maybe ask yourself the question "how bad am I at my job for someone three levels of seniority further down to be a problem for me?"

I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020.

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!
