The newest female coworker at my office got put on a pip yesterday after 5 months for doing the same things a lot of the men have been doing for years. I am devastated because she is my favorite, but also enraged at the situation. She’s already looking for work, and I just needed to vent to some people who would understand my frustration.

What was she put on a PIP for ?

If the standards really are different depending on who is being measured, I would be frustrated too. Consistency matters. People notice very quickly when similar behaviour gets different consequences.

COO’s & previous SR. account executives…

I made it to regional manager for a franchise by age 22. Ran a successful financial practice & sold by the age of 33.

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
