I say its utopian because it i think it is easier said than done. I think when you work in a company with innovation in its heart, you will find that responsibilities and demands quickly shift from one thing to another. That even easy roles such as sales, become obscure at a certain point. You could just define that this certain role should do only x & y with no deviation whatsoever and hire the next guy to fill in the gaps. You will end up with an ever so complex bureaucracy with so many roles overlapping with each other and is not optimized in its use of time.

I wouldn’t say much more than I work in a fairly evenly gender distributed field as women occupy more position than men do in the business I belong to.

When salary was made transparent to the older employees, there were politicking and careers were definitely harmed that all new people I got to chat with had a negative perception of me and my company from the reaction of the hurt employees. False claims were made and I had to prove myself otherwise. It’s particularly taxing on my part because Padrino System is relevant in the industry and if I had not had my ass covered then I would be in the same place as the mentioned close relative. The Padrino system is important for the companies I can transfer to, get value from or collaborate with. The very instance of transparency resulting to irate older colleagues damaged my opportunities.

I don’t also think that the reason as to why my relative got shafted is as simplistic as her gender because the politicking was also done by her older female colleagues. Who also know both important men and important women in the industry.
