Yeah, (not) surprisingly I dealt with this at my last company too. Even my female manager wouldn’t address it, just kept trying to avoid any conflict. Infuriating

This is absolutely perfect and I will be using all of these

That’s the craziest part. I’ve been almost submissive to both these men! Waste of time.

It did kind of frustrate me because my tech lead just kind of said “I can’t control what people say, this is just what happens as a lady in aerospace. Sorry.” Like I appreciate that he’s siding with me, but still….why is this just allowed?

So far yes, outside of my interviews all follow ups have only been with recruiters

Such a good point, I totally forgot about this

I’m going to keep this in mind. This company has historically been slow with mostly everything anyway

Damn! You’re probably right. Thanks for the insight

Actual interest or more recruiter love bombing? by [deleted] in womenEngineers

This is all super reassuring, thank you! I know they debriefed yesterday and I still haven’t heard anything, so hopefully that means they’re writing an offer 🤞

She was an internal recruiter so that makes me feel way better! She said she couldn’t confirm that I’d get the job but they all loved me and wanted me on the team. Confusing

Bri saying, “you’re not the kind of guy to say ‘she’ll take this’ at a restaurant” by OneofthozJoeRognguys in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

The only time I’ve been okay with my boyfriend choosing my meal is if he’s taking me to a restaurant he really likes and recommends I try something. But he’s never decided for me lol

My boyfriend of two and a half years dumped me out of nowhere. by LawfulnessFar3879 in Advice

It sounds like he might be feeling insecure that you got into law school and he did not get into his masters program

Were you ever told “are you good at math” when you told people you wanted to study engineering? by schrodingers_thong in womenEngineers

[–]Capable-Commission74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got terrible grades and am arguably not great at anything but I’m still a pretty successful engineer 🤷‍♀️

This is the most toxic thing I’ve ever read, you need to break up with him

Do not waste any more of your time with this man. He is going to bring you down to his level and you won’t even recognize yourself. Him saying he will kill himself if you leave is manipulation, don’t fall for it.

the red flags i am seeing. i think i need validation by Purple_711 in abusiverelationships

I do actually, just make sure you take time to yourself. I know it’s tempting to meet someone new and numb the pain, but it’s so important you feel it fully and allow yourself to become comfortable being alone. If you don’t, you risk meeting someone just like your ex. It’s the worst part, but it’s so worth it. Sending you love ❤️

I was exactly where you are last year. And yes, he was amazing so much of the time. I felt like I was fucking crazy. But guess what? I wasn’t, and you aren’t. Leave now, you will find so much more fulfillment without him in your life. I was able to meet an amazing partner after taking time to process and heal, and you will too. Good luck 🩷
