Less at work as opposed to discussed with wife while at lunch in our kitchen. She ended a calibration session with her manager and several other managers, all men. They discussed an employee, based in India, who my wife believes has proven enough for promotion. The men of the room feel like she’s just getting back to it from maternity leave and needs another 6 months before promotion. She returned from maternity in fall of 2023. Continued in comments.

My wife is irate as the only reason this high performer isn’t getting promoted is because the penis’ in the room decided because she had a kid a year ago she needs more time.

To say my wife is livid is an understatement. I Agree with her and I’m sorry for those that have to deal with that type of BS!!

This is the time to speak up and ask:

Is the only reason we’re not giving her a promotion that she had a child 10 months ago?

We need more women like your wife advocating for women. So often women tear each other down, but if we worked together instead we could help each other.

It’s sad how true this statement is. Some of the worst bosses my wife has had were other females that would try tear her down and not support her when needed. It’s quite crazy to witness and hard seeing her struggle thru it as her husband.

I know a very accomplished female lead, who was tapped to be an “interim” CIO while the company recruited a more suitable male replacement. The argument used to justify this was that she had 2 small children at home and this would cause conflict with the needs of the role (which we all know is not a 24/7 or critical worker role). They did not even offer her the chance to counter. FYI - This is was at a high profile fashion ecommerce company that made public brand/marketing statements on fair employment / gender equality on their corporate site. It is this mindset that is the problem and will continue to be the problem. I am also now pissed off so your wife has some company.

I’ve been working at my current job for going on four years now. After COVID I took on a lot of responsibility at work and was given a promotion to senior case manager. I’ve trained several new case managers, took on a lot of responsibilities and I am considered the backbone of my site by my supervisor who works remotely. I’ve tried to ask for a raise on several occasions but I was told that it’s not in the budget every time. What should I do?im 28, should I just take my experience elsewhere?
