Basically they had a “share your salary or share” with a guy who either had to take cold ice bath or share his salary. No! You as women must bring men into the conversation to fight for higher salaries for women. It’s not men that are the problem here. It’s employers.

He just sucks in general, everyone agrees. Yesterday, though, he crossed a line with me and I can’t get it out of my head. I was kind of bent over by the servers station in a bit of pain because I was on my period. M noticed and just…
The only person who will give an accurate picture of someone’s work ability is a coworker of the same level. Bosses don’t support subordinates because if they do well they are competition.
