Leave. Just leave. The way we change this industry and the misogyny in it is not by changing old school people but by getting new progressive leadership in. He’s not going to change and likely neither will the company. It’s sad to say but take your energy and talents where you’re not trying to shove a square peg in a round hole.
Are any of the men who’ve noticed the behavior willing to be your ally? It would be helpful for one or two to them to note when you are right or to chime in with agreement to help your points so it’s not such an aggressive situation
My old boss was just like this. Finding a male ally to back you up is a great idea. Otherwise he will likely lay you off finding some other reason to do so. He feels challenged by you, many men respond subconsciously to strong women, especially if they had overbearing mothers. Always goes back to our parents and their modeling. He will not change.
Absolutely. Digitas and CD1’s advice in the mean time to cope, and EP1’s advice as your larger goal. Even if your CEO is magically a bit better, he won’t make you grow the same way a progressive leader does. Good luck!
Thanks everyone. Got some thinking and planning to do.
The only success I’ve had with people like that is stopping and saying: have I said something to upset you/incorrect/offensive? It’s really awkward but forcing someone to be aware of their crappy behavior and explain for it is your only hope. But it sucks to work like that. Rooting for you
... to you what Facebook is all about. Every time i Offer an opportunity, a suggestion, or any type of contribution he is really edgy an aggresive towards me, people have noticed it, and I am one of only two women on the executive team. The other is HR. It's really offensive and I don't know how to handle it. I've noticed when I stay small he's fine but when I stand in my expertise he can't handle it. Any suggestions?
