[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe you do excellent work, but you're really stubborn and have a chip on your shoulder (which is what is coming through in this thread).[/quote]

I would bet my child's education future that the person who wrote this, and all the similar PPs, are &lt; 40 years old or so.

Just wait.  Then you'll get it, when you are 52 and right-sized.

To state reality and not back down (anonymously in the internet) isn't the equivalent of &quot;chip on your  shoulder.&quot;  Op has been respectful in her tone and likely accurate in reporting the fscts. I see this situation all the time, with both men and women fwiw. [/quote]

Actually, I've over 40 and got a job last year as a career changer at a small non-profit where everyone but the ED is 20 years younger than me.  If OP had applied for the job, she would have all my sympathy, but if you don't apply (because your ego isn't stroked and you don't want to get embarrassed in front of your friends if you don't get the job) you can't complain that you didn't get the job.[/quote]
