Cons

My mentor kissed me on the neck. Seniors assume I'm HR. Managers don't listen. A manager who has no idea what I do will tell me how I performed in the year, while forgetting my awards, deliverables, and customer feedback. My work gets attributed to other people. Literally, people have attributed my ideas to men in the room after they just repeated it because I was too quiet. There's a figurehead in the org chart where I should be. Only loud, confident people get promoted, or people who put pragmas in C++ who play tennis with the managers get promoted. Half the work week is spent in unnecessary meetings that could be emails, or meetings about how we can be physically safer. Managers have no accountability. Managers are happy to make 5+ employees sit around for 30 minutes for the manager to realize they can't make it to the meeting. The pay discrepancy between men doing my job and myself is 20-30k.

Advice to Management

More accountability
