re: #461 rightymouse

That’s not a bad thing for conservative women to become annoyed at the glass ceiling. It does exist. The worst part is when one’s opinion is dismissed at work but then when a guy says the same thing, it’s treated seriously.

I cannot tell you how often that happened to me.
Several times a week.

I once was HR Director for an agency, and one day I was trying to explain a policy to an employee. We were in the break area. He argued and argued and argued with me.

Finally, another male employee, NOT an HR office employee, walked up, listened to the discussion, and told the first guy, well, yeah, she’s right. What she’s saying is in the Employee Handbook. First guy - well, he was surprised, but he finally admitted that perhaps he misunderstood the policy.

He was willing to believe another guy who said the same thing I was saying, and who “proved” his point by pointing out that it was in the Employee Handbook.

Neither of them, I think, ever realized - I HAD WRITTEN THE HANDBOOK.
