Why are so many women attorneys so awful? I have had 3 horribly toxic female bosses, with the latest going so far as to give me a bad review and actually not give me my full bonus or a raise. I work a ton of hours, I am well liked and respected by many colleagues, and my work product is consistently praised. Can we please break the cycle of whatever crap you have gone through to get where you are and stop the abuse of other women? It is disgusting and does not do anything to help us grow.

I agree that it’s this. They had no other path. They had to be insanely tough and driven and unrelenting.

I want to flag that you’ve experience an adverse employment action—the denial of your raise/some bonus—and so it’s a prime time to talk to a plaintiff side employment attorney about your options.

Women can engage in gender-based bias against other women.

My understanding is that going to HR is of limited value, and can backfire — because they are not impartial and instead work for your boss.

I advise consulting with the plaintiffs’ employment attorney *before* you file any complaints, including with HR. The attorney can even give you a script of what to say. You will then need to monitor for retaliation.

Your initial call to the attorney should be free, and then you can retain them on an hourly basis. Even if you spend about $2000-3000 on the attorney, you should be able to recoup that cost through a longer tenure at this job, should you want to stay, or your severance packet.

Because of the imbalance in power and knowledge between you and your employer, filing complaints and negotiating a severance should be done with expert help.

What made the review bad?

It seems she was looking for any reason she could, to not have to pay you. Whether it’s bc she can’t afford it, or bc she’s just a c*nt, rest reassured that it’s not you 🤍 jealousy/envy can cause women to act soooooo uglyyy, not realizing that that type of low vibration keeps them vibrating low.

Hi,

May I know what is a good salary for a R&D project engineer(2 YOE) in a semiconductor industry in Belgium?

🐠, I was laid off from industry during covid and started consulting this year, which was a step back in terms of level and salary. I have received an offer that would allow me to course-correct and advance past where I was before. I like my current firm and have put a lot of effort into making it my new home; however I don’t like my project and am stuck on it. I am terrified of making a move so soon into a role that isn’t a fit or worse, results in another layoff. Appreciate all perspective!

2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?

3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?

4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”
