No shit, I bring our new CEOs up to speed on everything when they inevitably turn over every few years. They’re sent to me to learn about our company, our clients, our operations, etc. And I nearly was fired last year for putting my foot down about getting a raise that had been verbally promised to me for 15 months.

My sister has been at her company for 3 years. They just hired a guy to do a similar role as she does. She brought him up to speed on the company, industry, and his role. She answers all of his questions. She corrects his work. And the dude STILL talks down to her, still takes credit for things while giving her no…

oh. my. gah. i hate everyone

My favorite in a room of men is when someone drops a profanity and then looks at me and says, “excuse me” or “I apologize.” I want to yell back, “shit, I don’t give a fuck!”

Yep. I am asked to do administrative/secretarial things over male colleagues who are on my level or lower. I have a younger woman who reports to me that I’ve advised not to volunteer to be helpful with any kind of administrative/extra things outside of her role because it diminishes her value in the eyes of the…

Get out. Probably one over 50 might.

True story. When negotiating my salary to return to a former employer, my boss (the company’s president) argued, “But you’re a single woman, you don’t need that much money. And doesn’t your boyfriend make a lot of money anyway?” I wish I were making it up.

FACK

That’s interesting; I’m the opposite. I think I would be more scared of a perv. The street harassers I flip off and tell them to fuck off or not to talk to me that way. And you’re right - it probably is risky. I had two guys turn back around and start coming toward me at a gas station. Some other (male) patrons…

No. No, it doesn’t. Those people are insane.

Yes, Under the Banner of Heaven is an interesting read and incredibly informative about this very disturbing group.

“High school kids” are often played by much older actors. As with Tobey Maguire.

We all have our strengths :) Thanks for the info.

I’m surprised. She seems kind of infantile to me.

Yes, yes I am.

You love it? Why?

At first glance, I thought it was an iced giant pretzel. Which really makes no sense at all.

I don’t remember what their age difference is, but he seems quite significantly older than her. She looks and acts like a sheltered little child with no life experience. Why do men love this?

I guess that’s between you and them. Maybe once they’re college educated they can explain to you the difference between your and you’re.

You’re brave. And hilarious. But I can understand how it could be scary. This person is already behaving in a sexually violating way by exposing themselves. I would just be uncomfortable and not feel secure enough to confront them, probably. I mean, you’d have to be some level of nuts (ha) to do that. Who knows what…
