Hey look I'm dealing with more sexism today!!

[ringstrue]

So you might recall that we had a reorg at my job recently BUT I was told I can't get a promotion out of it even tho I had been working towards one and even tho I'm taking on more responsibilities and got a title change, because the "reorg" was "just a realignment."

So today, we just got word that this dude in another section got promoted. Because of the reorg. The email said, "as part of the realignment efforts, Dude Guy has been promoted to ___."

I feel like burning shit down. I've already talked to HR about this. What do I do now? Go to HR again and call them out? The Chief of Staff was in charge of this realignment- do I go to him? Do I mention the word "sexism?" Talk me down - I can barely see straight right now.

I would update your resume and start looking elsewhere. Even if, best case scenario, they gave you a promotion, you'd never forget the circumstances. Nor should you.

I'm sorry.

Don't do anything while you're this angry.

Later, speak or email the person you spoke to before. Attach that email. Ask why he got something you were told can't happen. See what they say.

And then start job hunting. That always makes me feel better.

I don't know the history, but what makes you think that it is sexism? I wouldn't use that word unless I had blatant proof.

I was wondering about this too.

That really, really sucks.

Don't do anything rash. Except, of course, updating your resume. Time to find a new job. In a backwards way they are giving you feedback that you will not be promoted there. Take the advice and leave. And eff them.
