To be fair, I've got plenty of white (or white passing) male friends who also ended up in roles with a shortage of work to do. There's this awkward period between someone being hired, and them being familiar enough with the workplace to actively seek out stuff that needs to be done that leaves a lot of people with very little to do.
- Manuel_D 3y agoMy sister, though, had been in her role for 2+ years but still only had work to keep her busy maybe 30% of the time. Similar situation with one of my past girlfriends. These were both Product Managers - I think it's less of an issue for software developers, since there's always a backlog to hack away at.
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoShit, I was talking about software developers. I've never known a busy manager. Not a gendered thing at all, it's just a bloated class of employee.
- Manuel_D 3y agoNot managers, product managers. They didn't have any reports, they were still ICs.
- aydyn 3y agoOf course, because project management isn’t a real job, and it’s almost exclusively staffed by white women. Coincidentally.
- adrianN 3y agoI worked with maybe half a dozen product managers and none of them were women.
