Feeling held back from a leadership position in your organization? This article on a Yale study is a great read on potentially why! It points put that women are held to a higher standard than our male counterparts. I know it has happened to me. Do feel this is happening to you? https://insights-som-yale-edu.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/insights.som.yale.edu/insights/women-arent-promoted-because-managers-underestimate-their-potential?amp

So, tell them that. I would anyway, but I’m rather upfront and can lack tack... if personally say— can you help me understand better what I AM doing right? I appreciate constructive feedback, but need to understand what’s right.
The first to criticize and the last to praise boss. I just had one of those. Usually means they’re an unhappy person or too stressed out. I say call them on it. Have a list of your perceived flaws and your successes and put them on the spot. No reason you should have to feel like that. And when a boss does that to you it can often cause more mistakes from overthinking. Let them know it’s helpful to call out an “area for improvement” but that it’s also helpful when they commend you on a job well done. Both contribute to your growth. Good luck!
I’d get what you can out of this relationship/role while developing your exit strategy. Either within the agency or outside. They won’t have your back and that’s a dangerous spot with consequences short and long term
Thanks for the insight! Really helpful - going to try these strategies next week 😊
you’re not alone!
If things don’t change after you confront these issues start looking for other work. Find a boss who gives a fuck and can stay cool under pressure. I’ve been there before dude and it sucks, but there are awesome bosses out there. You just have to go through some dickheads to find them 👍
Do we have the same boss? 🤦🏻♂️

Thanks! It’s almost like I’ve developed a touuuuch a Stockholm syndrome. Any sort of small praise and it’s like I won the lottery! Gotta take it where you can get it, right?
