i dont think her sex has anything to do with it. its a company culture thing.
in some cultures interrupting is necessary to get heard even at the slightest, while at others people will outcast you as a 'different to work with'.
in her next job, stuff might be totally different
i've been in both cultures.
- Schiendelman 6y agoWhat makes you discount the role of sex? Honestly curious - it’s pervasive in workplace treatment issues across the gamut, but you discount it here? Why?
- yummypaint 6y agoPeople get uncomfortable when they have to think about their privilege. It chips away at the bootstraps fantasy. As a white guy in a field that's mostly male i see this all the time. Lots of people's self worth seems to hinge on the ideal self-reliancy, so to recognize the unfairly positive treatment we receive is too much to bear for many. Instead, they expend their mental energy on finding ANY other passable explanation to divert conversation to a different subtopic to escape the negative emotions caused by the contradiction.
- mpfundstein 6y agowhat the heck are you talking about lol
- mpfundstein 6y agobecause i worked in both cultures and also with very strong women who regurarily topped men. its a culture thing, not a gender thing. putting it on the sex takes responsibilty away and creates a victim role which is not necessary. heck my last cfo was a wonder women. sharp as a knife and she pushed the company more than all other male leaders combined. and she was rude af which probably helped as everyone was alpha there
