I told my manager I was leaving because there was no future for women at my company, and he promised to fix it. I was surprised he came to my leaving drinks, but it turns out he just wanted to ask me to spend my last day writing him a doc to use in a meeting I wasn’t invited to.

The head of my department calls all his male reports ‘sir’ and regularly takes them for a beer in place of their 1:1s. It’s been 18 months and he’s cancelled all but one of the meetings I have ever set up with him.
I am a female manager, was asked to temporarily fill a VP position, lead a team of 50 people, and hire my replacement. I asked for a temporary pay rise and was told I should ‘consider it an opportunity just to be asked.’
“You weren’t promoted because although you’ve made a lot of impact, it’s too invisible. Try being more like x. He makes sure everyone knows when an idea was his.” - manager explaining to employee why the (all male) senior committee had blocked her promotion. #womenleaders
“No don’t worry, you aren’t missing any meetings or anything, it’s more just like casual chats at the urinals” - CPO of a tech company in reply to a senior manager asking why she seemed to be missing key discussions.
