Show Notes

This is one for the ladies. Many of us are starkly aware of our femaleness in the workplace. We are frequently the only woman in meetings; we sense that someone is talking to us differently than they talk to your male counterparts. Gender bias in the workplace is alive and well, and now it comes in more subtle forms that can be difficult to deal with. When someone pinches your boob, it's an obvious violation that you can take to HR. When someone talks to you differently, maybe more patronizing or condescending than the men you work with, it's a lot trickier. In this episode, I talk about some things I've experienced being a woman in the corporate world. Do any of them sound familiar?
