[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a woman. I oversee 7 functions. Because of increased focus from the org on one of the functions, they are moving some out from under me. I now find out that they are hiring a man at a substantially higher comp band to take on half of the work i have been doing. If i look across our leadership, all of the most senior ppl are men. Just blows that this is 2026 and still happening. [/quote]

So, you weren’t capable of doing your job properly so they brought in better talent? I am not sure I follow.[/quote]

Equally likely that the org decided that instead of promoting from within and assuming OP could step up to handle the increased importance of the function, they decided they need a shiny new (male) thing. Tale as old as time. Women get dinged for not having experience, whereas men are given “opportunities for development.” [/quote]
I think its probably closest to this. OP is right to look.

I was fighting for a VP position for years and not even being told why I couldn't get promoted. No performance feedback, only that I needed to wait longer. Then I got recruited for a c-suite role and now make 3x as much. Ironically, senior execs from my old company are always chasing me now for business partnership. And several people have followed me, and even more have pinged me to move.

Companies dont always know how best to assess or leverage your talent. You should look elsewhere if you perceive a mismatch. [/quote]
