Lean In

I applied to work in the ICU. They said I needed more experience. I kept working med-surg.

Another female coworker with same experience got hired in after we both had one year. I applied again at two year mark. They said I needed more experience.

Took me two years to get a ICU job because ICU leader was a lesbian who hated men. I didnt realize it until someone told me.

I had to apply to a different hospital and got the ICU job immediately.

Discrimination against men is VERY real. Especially in female dominated professions like nursing!

Yet in engineering women get priority!

Only lawsuits will change this. It is important for people to keep screenshots of all this public admission of illegal discrimination. Bits of evidence like this win lawsuits.

I firmly believe that anti-male discrimination has had a tangibly negative impact on my life and career trajectory.

My former supervisor was asked to step down from his managerial position to be replaced by a far, far less experienced black woman. Not only unfair to him but the department is now dysfunctional as a result. Fortunately I’m no longer there.

This goes beyond subtle leaning in. Many company’s take pride in blatantly discriminating against men.

This article the discrimination with hard numbers. If you need more evidence

File a DOL complaint on the website. Her linkedin has the pattern of behavior evidence that proves chauvenism.

Maybe add some salt and claim it was sexist and sexual harassment that she didnt pull out your chair for you.

I tried posting these screenshots here but the mods didn’t approve. Are we just going to totally ignore gender discrimination against men in hiring decisions now?

You've posted about it here--that's a good enough start. Per my experiences, you can mention, "It's a well-known company located in (name of city), that does (name of function), and the Redditors are smart enough to piece it together.

In my experience, I've seen race and gender discrimation as well, sadly enough--especially in promotions. In the west coast city where I used to work in the U.S., the administration favored women over men (even though the men in question were clearly more qualified, had longer experience, and the education to back it up), calling it "progressive," when in reality it's just discrimination falsely masked as being forward-thinking.

Lost many chances because of this tbh sometimes they openly say it

I've had interviews for jobs I didn't get then asked if I knew any women that were looking for work

Subs like this need to compromise on red tape where necessary to enable quality posts

No- we're going to go on social media and bitch about them, apparently. Why are you telling this to US and not making reports of open declarations of discrimination by people in charge of making hiring decisions to the relevant authorities?

This comes across like those women who claim they were sexually assaulted, and then go to Facebook rather than the police.

Lean in simply tells women to stop assuming they don’t deserve to be included - to lean IN and not OUT. It’s from like the 90s
