I want to start out by saying that I have full respect for the men that did receive promotions, they were also deserving, we all worked our butts off last year with 850+ inches of snow and that's that. But my point of this post is a much more glaring issue.
So here's the tea:
- Out of our 60 ops employees, 8 are women.
- Out of our 15 individuals in leadership, shift management basically the next step up,
1 of them is female. - She has been the only woman promoted in the last 3 years.
-There is no written or established criteria to earn a promotion here, you express your interest in promotion and are chosen by administration. - This year, at least 4 women expressed interest in promotion, Three of whom have 2 years experience at this resort. One has 4 years cumulative and 1 year here.
None were promoted.
None were given any explanation as to why they did not receive a promotion.
- Promotions this year:
1 man who wasn't here last year due to injury,
2 men with one year experience at this resort.
So that's kind of the basis, and I'm sure they could come up with some kind of reason why none of us moved up, I just think it's wack.
Right now we're holding our breathe because the man who was out on injury got injured again (as one does) and now he's out, so there's an open leadership position. There's whispers of another promote once the season ramps up.
So like whatever less responsibility more ski time for us but also… Wtf.
