Hi everyone,
I'm a professional woman, with a PhD, in a field in which I've earned the highest credentials. At work, some people, who know I have a PhD, still call me miss. A couple of guys harassed me when no one was around - no witnesses. Nonetheless, I let it be known what these two dudes did to me. When in meetings I have to speak up because a topic deals with my lane of work, yet I'm dismissed or laughed at. Today, in an early morning meeting, I was told (in a polite way) by a man what I needed to do without asking for my professional opinion or if I had time to take on the additional workload. The people who work for me (regardless of sex/gender) do not respect my boundaries and I have to remind them - which I do consistently, as when training a dog. I feel as though this treatment has gotten worse. Am looking for another job, not desperate, but looking again because the environment is toxic and have plenty of other people who agree who are just waiting a few years before they can retire - and leave the workforce for good. Any other women experiencing this? Again, I just get the feeling it's gotten worse at work. |
