[quote=Anonymous]That's extremely problematic. If he's a manager of a certain age and still doesn't understand that some truths are better left unsaid, you really need to watch your back with this guy! The problem here isn't that it was true or false. Your looks, age and new status surely played in your favor, even if your professional competency did the heavy lifting. The problem is that your manager has no filter, and that sort of condescending remark is misogynist and minimizes your intellectual contribution. It's the very definition of a hostile workplace! Prepare a phrase for the next time he voices a link between a woman's looks with her perceived performance: "Are you saying a woman's looks are more important than her intellectual contributions?" The first time you ask that question, open your eyes innocently and say it mildly. If he's not too far gone, he will scrounge up an HR-worthy, PC-response and be more careful in the future. [/quote]
