Many women get nudged/pushed into middle management instead of promoted to technical leads or directorships. It's often a way for companies to claim they "promote" women, while forcing them into roles that are vulnerable to layoffs.
- sukilot 7y agoThat's rather tin-foil-hatty. Directors and above are a rounding error in employment. The conventional wisdom is that the good jobs are management, the only way to get pay rises and survive ageism-based layoff. This is the first I've heard someone claim that getting promoted to management is an attack.
