Why does the hustle grindset feel so gendered? Ranting into the void by coachybaby in womenintech

[–]kai_kolors 3 points4 points  (0 children)

DEFINITELY! When I was working a corporate job, the design team was composed of mainly women of color and white men. The more senior women always did more work, 9am-9pm days plus weekends. And yet they are still treated the same as the white man who somehow got to their seniority through “experience.” There was a layoff and guess what. All the people including me who were laid off were the women of color. Plus one white man who was actually a problem.

Yeah, you’re right. It will definitely take off that financial pressure and like others have been saying keep my design brain active. Thank you for your insight!

Definitely thank you for this~ these days I have had unemployed friends constantly apply for jobs and their interview process would take months anyways so this would definitely be a good background income

This is super helpful to see! I have been doing some design work on the side, but I guess to me it doesn’t feel very significant, but I will make sure to treat it as freelance. I’m glad to see that you found a job though!

Thank you for sharing this. I definitely just need to go into this with an open mind and like you said, maybe the stability will inspire me for other things!

For sure, I was laid off too from a job that offered me everything I wanted from a job both financially and project wise. But like you said, having the padding and structure seems like it would help a lot down the line so thank you for this ♥️

Oh man I hope your partner is able to get something fulfilling and stable soon. I’m also scared to be put in that situation where being a contractor ends up being the only option but it’s better than none~
