Men—when you introduce your employee who's a woman and say, "She does all the work"/"runs things"/"keeps us all sane"/etc.: 1-You are not paying her enough. 2-You haven't given her the title or team she deserves. 3-Talking about her contributions doesn't make up for 1 and 2.
I’ve had this from senior women too, unfortunately. Verbal praise in place of actual reimbursement/compensation for being expected to work more than my contractual duties. Maybe it’s a gender thing in some cases, but it wasn’t for me — just lazy management.
No one wants to hear that here. Doesnt fit the narrative.
On the contrary, I’d be surprised if others in this thread wouldn’t be receptive to my experience :)
The point is exactly the same, even if it’s coming from women. The post is about societal expectations.
Just because it's a woman doing it, doesn't mean it's not gendered. It's perfectly possible for women to be sexist and discriminatory to other women.
In this case, I don’t think so, because it happened to guys too. The common denominator was the fact that we were all eager to prove ourselves and be ‘good employees’. I’m not saying this can’t be gendered, but just that I don’t think it always is :)
The issue is not senior's gender, but the fact that, since you (lower responsibility job) are a woman, you are expected to do your job plus managing, doing emotional work and sometimes even cleaning. If you stick to your paid tasks, you will be undervalued by your superiors
My point is, this actually happened to men, too. At least in my case, gender wasn’t a denominator — it was the fact that we were young and enthusiastic, and management didn’t want to spend time and money rehiring for the roles we covered. Sometimes it is gender, but not always :)
