How do you deal with being ignored (on purpose) by men in your workplace? What is the correct way to address it?

Most of us have probably experienced it in our place of work. Men ignore us when we are speaking during a meeting, they pretend not to see our emails, they avoid doing their part of the job if the instructions come from us, and so on.

What is the FDS way of addressing it and creating a productive work environment where we are taken seriously and listened to? Please share your stories and advice.

This has to be a joke

I call them and ask “have you seen my message?” or bring it up in our daily meetings in front of rest of team “not sure if X has seen my message, could you take a look? “

If I really need an answer I will escalate to a manager and ask for their help.

Honestly, you can't change that type. Luckily you can change jobs and pick a workplace that has more or all women next time.

I'm currently in the middle of doing this. So tired of middle aged and geriatric mansplaining, sexually harassing, mediocre and incompetent MEN.

This post would probably work better in FLUS than FDS as it's not dating related. Having said that, keeping a record via email is great, with follow-ups (you can even automate these so you don't invest time and emotions following up), then calling them out in the presence of others. Keep a record of your records.

I irritate them until they answer me. Or I start copying people higher up. I'm polite all the time and often toss in "if it's easier to discuss on the phone I'm happy to set a time up, when works best for you?". Or, when I'm super irritated, I just schedule a meeting.

Wow WTF, they just walked away and ignored her while answering her question to each other?? What a couple of sexist douchebags.

Gotta make sure you call the man out in a meeting in front of supervisors. That way he knows not to pull shit like that again in private.

There’s nothing more gutting than being ignored. This is why ghosting is so effective against men. However, this is a real professional setting, what they did was uncalled for.

This is just more proof that most men want to be with other men
