Crosspost "I'm sick of misandry in workplaces." from /r/TrueOffMyChest:

I was just thinking about my experiences at work (before getting laid off) and the misandry was both very real and frustrating. It was a factory and there was a girl at work who produced 1000 pieces in a ten hour shift. Pretty impressive really. Her face was all over our notification boards, screens, etc. I got determined and put out 1100 pieces about two weeks later. Nothing. Fucking crickets. My immediate boss was pissed about it, that no one said a word, but couldn't do anything to get me recognized. A few weeks later I blew by that and put out 1450 in a shift. A new company-wide record. Still nothing.
 

A few weeks after that a woman in another department did well, something like 1200 pieces, and she got recognized on the boards and such.
 

I'm pretty sure that was the moment I stopped giving a fuck about my job. It became just a paycheck but I was checked out mentally. I was their best employee but they didn't give a fuck. I just aimed for quota (720 a shift), the bare minimum, after that.
 

The misandry was real in that company. If you didn't have boobs, you didn't get recognized, no matter how hard you worked.
 

edit: The fact that I'm getting downvoted for dealing with rampant sexism in a workplace is gross. You may not realize it, but guys are looked at as dumb resources to be used up and discarded by society. You don't hear about it, but we're often treated like garbage and are just expected to take it. It's disgusting. We're human too, damn it!
