I'm bereft. Don't go, Jon! Especially not before the 2016 election! First Colbert, now you! THIS IS THE DARKEST TIME LINE.

Waiiit a minute, there are so many people commenting here about cleaning/admin work. I'm suddenly asking myself, who does that at my job? I know we have actual admins who are paid to be admins, I assumed they do all the admin work. And I know we have actual cleaning people who are paid to clean, I assumed they do all…

Good for you! I used to train and mentor staff in my old job and was responsible for promoting women (not exclusively women, but...) from assistant jobs through to executive roles. I always counseled them to resist doing the coffee/ party/ cleaning work, going so far as to finally assign those tasks specifically,…

I really like this series because the issues reflect the experiences I have, as a highly-educated woman in a white collar profession. No, it's not going to apply to service workers. It can't. But not all women, obviously, have lower-paying service jobs or lack the ability to speak out for themselves and their roles in…

And this is why I purposefully did not help put up the office Christmas tree this year. Because none of the men stepped up to do it, so neither did I. Eventually the boss and the newest secretary did it. I will take every chance I can get to distance myself from that "women's work."

My super awesome mom, after years of working as a successful independent consultant, recently accepted a job as an executive/c-suite level employee at a financial firm. She is the only woman executive. During her first week, another executive told her part of her duties would be to cover the phones when the…

I can cite so many examples of this, but my favorite was the male attorney who asks me to fix the copy machine when it jams. It took me years to finally come up with the proper response, "Ray, I went to the same law school as you, and they still don't offer any office equipment repair classes."

I just did the damn dishes that were left here from yesterday (small office full of men). So, SO MUCH FUCKING THIS!!!!

At least it was blessing. I had a friend whose mother got upset at her son in law because he didn't ask her 'permission' to get married-and my friend pointed out that she's not a object. She (and her spouse) are adults who don't need permission to do anything.

And anyone that says complete surprise makes me raise my…

Not sure why some people seem to be clamoring for him to get jail time. Nothing so far suggests he was anything beyond negligent, if that. She hit the vehicle in front of her first, which could limit his reaction time. He still could have possibly avoided it, but the fact is that accidents do happen. None of us…

Yea, I don't get this train at all. Kanye is clearly goony-eyed in love with Kim. He's Bey's friend, she had the better album AND the better video, so he said something. I just.. am perplexed by this avenue of thought.

Most of the hate directed at her and Let's Move is just right-wing "creeping socialism" fears and yes, it is BS.

I was a freshman in college in 08. Obama was the first president I could vote for.

I genuinely cannot believe that people are making such a fuss over the fact that Budweiser made an ad that will appeal to people who drink Budweiser, and that made fun of people who call it terrible and garbage and who were never going to drink it anyway.

So before people lose their shit, Ashley Graham is 5'10 and a solid Size 16 model. She models Lane Bryant and other plus size clothing companies. I see her picture in nearly EVERY store that I shop at online and in store. She was in that banned Lane Bryant Cacique commercial a few years ago when she was 19.

I know you…

can someone out there do something similar for petite ladies? I am so sick of buying kids clothes, hemming and taking things in. Its not just plus sizes that struggle ;-;

Not only that, but there are also rumors that he is overweight.

This reminds of when the math dept at my university sent out a questionnaire to students to find out why few of the talented female math students chose a major in math, and none of them wanted to go on to grad school. (There were no women on faculty, & the student body was full of the worst kind of gate-keeping…

If you get the other job, take it, give notice and don't look back. #1 rule of employment is you always take care of yourself first. Employers will never, ever put their employees first, so it's up to you to do it. They'll be fine.

Copying from GT, because I find the responses so encouraging; here's to healing:
