Justice served

Types furiously

Why do men automatically assume that a woman can't build a closet, can't fix a sink, can't work in car repairs? Do they imagine her small fingers can't do the job? Dudes act like they know how to use their hands, but stories from women all over beg to differ. In fact, whenever I get a woman taxi driver, a woman mechanic, or a woman working anything that is normally a ‘man’s job', I sigh in relief. They're often more polite, more considerate, and won't hit on you. This customer entered a car mec…

girl bossing

One female computational biologist who was working in a high-security institution without direct admin access to their machines had to frequently rely on IT support for software installations and updates. Initially, her relationship with IT was okay, but over time, it deteriorated. It became super frustrating for her because she felt like they were being purposely condescending. We're talking about a woman who is a Ph.D. candidate.… Let's just say she's more than qualified to do her job. Whenev…

Working in an all-male environment can be rough. Not because women can't keep up, but because sometimes dudes tend to have each other's backs, looking down on female coworkers in the process. What that leads to is a lot of unfair promotions and many heated discussions. Sometimes, it's just not worth staying for. If you can't find a way to succeed at a company, don't worry… There are plenty more out there where you have a chance. Where people will respect you, regardless of whether you're a man…

When laid off, don't despair, for when one door closes, another one opens… Look, I get it. Being laid off would throw anyone into the pits of despair. At least temporarily. It's like a breakup… At first, you are in total denial. You cry, but deny. Then, you get angry. How dare they fire you? You were their best employee! But before you get to the bargaining stage, think about it. This is your opportunity to try something new. To branch out, to figure out who you are and what you want! Remember…

Women are often underestimated in the workplace. Whether it be IT, construction, or the stock market… Women can't be CEOs! They don't have that thing dangling from in between their legs. You know, that necessary thing that allows a person to 'do a job right'. Luckily, some bosses know when to step in and say 'Enough is enough', leaving clients, customers and even coworkers at a loss for words. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky to have a good boss. This woman was a plumber, and she went to do…

Man, oh man...

"What, like it's hard?"

One data scientist was being unfairly treated by their boss and was at a loss for what to do about it. Women have played significant roles in the field of technology since its inception, although historically their contributions have often been overlooked or marginalized. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusion in the tech industry, and despite the progress, women are often underrepresented in many areas. So when you have two women work…

Until we can find a wealthy suitor to sweep us off our feet, a working girl's gotta clock in...

Relationships are challenging. Relationships need ongoing effort and commitment. It also doesn't get any easier with time, despite what everyone tells us. If anything, as we get older, it probably gets harder. OP and his wife have been together for almost ten years and have two lovely children. They undoubtedly went through their fair share of highs and lows during the course of their relationship, but no matter how difficult things got, they never gave up on each other. So, despite their occas…

Navigating the adult world becomes a dance between deadlines and delusions… am I right or am I right, ladies?
