This is far from the only one, but here’s a recent study published in the Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2016/04/women-…):

Men will support any other men, before women. No matter if they don’t like gay men, or black men they will hire them and respect them more than woman who is any other color. Other people who post can live in lie, that is how world works. And black women defending black men, when 90 percent of black men could care less…

A black man became president of this country before a white woman did. So, I say that order is just about right.

They face less opposition in general, because they’re expected to negotiate.

Honestly, imo, this accounts for at least 50% of Hillary Clinton’s unfavorable rating, the fact that she is asking for a promotion to the highest office in the land makes her “unlikable”. Once she has the job then her favorables will go up again.

Apparently not, sadly. Check up thread. We’re being gaslighted.

That’s not how this works.

“I don’t want to seem ungrateful. I don’t want to be too pushy. Maybe I’ll just say nothing and someone will just give me a raise.”

“Oh, it’s not that you’re doing a good job, it’s just that we really need to see you do X, Y, and Z in the next six months to feel comfortable with making this commitment to you.”

my experience is also in STEM - it’s sad that we haven’t come far enough even after all this time :(

Men of color clearly do have a disadvantage compared to white men in this regard, but if they ask for a raise that their employer knows they would consider giving to a white man, at least that employer knows in the back of their head, “If I don’t consider it, it’s probably racist.” There really is no other reason. If…

I’ve worked in STEM for almost two decades now, though in a variety of industries. I’ve shared the same experiences. Even the act of negotiating — which is expected of male peers — can have negative repercussions on women.

One year I listed all my accomplishments in my self-evaluation. When I had my review, my boss said “It’s looks like you’re aiming for a promotion.” Well, duh, of course I am. Naturally, they closed the gates to the next level up at the exact time that me and one of my female coworkers met the requirements.It was the…

There have been actually studies on this. In general, employers (both male and female) reward male candidates/employees for negotiating, but they punish women for it. Men who negotiate are seen as strong and confident and adept at establishing their own value. Women who negotiate are seen as greedy, ungrateful…

I work in the legal industry, and when I asked for a promotion/raise that I believed I’d earned (based on time served, the importance of the case I was on, the amount of overtime and travel I’d put in, and glowing reviews of my work). From the boss who told me that yes, my work product was OBJECTIVELY BETTER than male…

I wonder what the stats are for any disparity in granting raises, based on race and gender.

Zero surprise here. The shock and occasional angerI have sometimes seen from managers when their female employees ask for a raise or complain about their compensation is telling. Even when a dude asks for a raise and doesn’t get it, at least the manager is not surprised and/or offended by the question. Women are still…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m a professional working in STEM and I’ve never felt like asking for a raise was even on the table. The way all of my employers have talked, they might have to start sacrificing buying our bathrooms TP to keep the doors open. You know, despite growth and profit. The…

“Crush a man” doesn’t appear anywhere on this list, and therefore it is invalid.
