I used to think maybe I was just unlikeable.
At my last newsroom job, the person who made my life difficult wasn’t a man in a corner office like you would expect- it was a woman.
She was sharp, respected, and had “survived” the boys’-club years of journalism.
She also belittled me in meetings, rolled her eyes when I took time off , and once said, “When I was your age, I just got on with it.”
At first I thought, okay – maybe that’s just her – maybe I just kind of do suck and she doesn’t like me
But the more young women I talked to, the more I heard the same story:
The hardest bosses weren’t always men… Sometimes they were the women who had to act like men to make it.
So I wanted to know: is this personal… or is it generational?
Is there something about Gen X women – the original “girlbosses” – that makes them so tough on the rest of us?
Anything to prove I’m likeable…
