It is infuriating - you know you can do the job, you know you have the skills, and you know that you have the support from co-workers. Yet a man has been picked for the position. How many times has this happened to you? Me - more than I want to count.
In my case, the man picked is usually less competent, has less education, and doesn't have the people skills (without more training). What he does have is commonality among the rank and file hiring him.
From the stats in this article it will be a very long time before this changes. When are we, women, going to demand more? When are we, women, going to unite and make the change happen?
At this rate, American women won’t see equal pay until 2058 http://wapo.st/18TwUuc
