Sexism in the workplace isn’t always blatant—it’s these everyday microaggressions that chip away at confidence and credibility. I’m done pretending it doesn’t bother me.
Following. At my level, I can’t say I have a perfect solution, either. I’m also in a male dominated field where your competence is often questioned.
I do a combination of calling the behavior out (eg: ‘I’m in the middle of a sentence’ when interrupted) and letting things slide. It really depends on the situation and the people in the room. I’m more likely to let things slide when people above me are in the room. Rarely do I call things out then.
When someone has questioned what I told them to do (vendors or freelancers) I’ve called them out and absolutely gave feedback to my skip level (helps she’s a woman). We cut both freelancers for not liking a woman telling them what to do.
Hope my post helps!
One last thing - be cautious about calling out interrupting when virtual. Sometimes it’s just a lag in Teams or a bad internet connection 😂
