[quote=Anonymous]Honestly - correcting the C-suite when they were making incorrect assumptions that were leading to poorly prioritized decisions on things just because they were further away from the work being done.

We'd be in All Hands or other team meetings and the CEO would join for example and he'd be giving recaps of xyz and the direction he wants to go. I noticed if some of his recap was incorrect or out of context, everyone would just remain silent and let him continue talking. When it happened in a big enough capacity I thought it was going to throw off some of our company wide goals, I spoke up an corrected him. He called me after the meeting, thanked me, and asked my opinions. Over the last 2 years that has evolved into him, our CRO, and our COO randomly calling me to verify their understanding of things or act as a sounding board.

That year, I went from $85k to $130k in the company. I'm still here and I (F) currently make $45k more than my male counterpart I strongly believe for that reason. He is a heads down work person. I've really pushed myself to be a speak up and make sure all teams are aligned person.

I just found out there's a promotion opening for me towards the end of the year too that will bump me another 18%[/quote]
