Was nominated as the team “party planner” (only woman on my team). Somehow they missed the part where I’m extremely introverted and not even a team dinner has been planned in 8 months. Go figure.

Plan a spa day. You don’t have to talk to anyone since you’ll be in a separate area since you’ll be in a different locker room and you get a free massage. Win win.

Oh. And literally could not be easier to plan. One phone call is all you need!

You can look at it negatively... or you can take this as an opportunity to get out of your shell and plan a really fun event for people. Enroll some other folks to help! Pick a fun place!

OP - I’m with you. After a 10-12 hour day of dealing with clients and colleagues, the last thing I want to do is spend more time with them. I mean they’re great people and all that, but enough is enough. Let me go to the gym and have a little bit of time to myself!

P1 - I’m not in a shell or shy either. I can be quite engaging but By 7pm I’m just “done” dealing with people

“If nominated, I will not serve”. Kinda think you need to call them out on this (sorry Ms. Introvert, I know that’s probably not your style).

Honestly I’m afraid to give up my position at this point for fear of someone new taking the role seriously and forcing me into social obligations 😐

Actually that may have been intentional- maybe they don’t like dinners/events either and purposely chose the introvert knowing it won’t happen and there will be no “forced fun”

No, I am the only person ever asked to plan such events.

You’re “the woman” - it is what it is.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

So I’m late to the Indian Matchmaking series. Is it the guy who has to be wealthy and the women who need to come from wealth? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of emphasis on what the women do for a living, but the men all seem either well-off or getting called losers. Is that what people look for in real life too? So there’s no place for women on the come up to be with someone above their own social class?
