So I am 6’4 dude bro. My department is jock/conservative and 90% male (industry is 82%).
I am a new hire and I went to the chief and svp level to get career advice and asked for it from women I respect (outside my department). Word got around and now my bosses are throwing shade because I didnt set up meetings with the males despite the fact that within a department the mentorship aspect should be driven from the top employees (they should set up the meetings, not me) to the lower ones. Now they are trying to paint it as preying on the women (projection much?) when they all love dealing with me because I respect them and dont see them as a diversity hire.
Got to love corporate, hey?
