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.
