[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]

I am at the same level I entered my F500 Corp at 25 years ago.  I am in a org that just "coincidentally" has a preponderance of male managers and executives. A female I started with as a peer is now the VP of this function.  I tried communicating with her politely about there being a "bro problem". She just doesn't see it.  Even though she's barely picked any of her direct reports and they are all each others' besties from two decades ago.  I sent a bunch of external research reports and studies.

I recently moved out of this function to another area where performance management is more objective.  She sent me a congratulatory note wishing me well and saying she thought it would be a good move for me.

I've concluded there are no allies.  You have to wait for generational social change.  Which I think is coming.

I will note that several times I got strange large base pay increases in ordinary performance years and I suspect that was because of HR finding some alarming discriminatory math behind the scenes.

OP, at a minimum, ask your boss to be put in the next pay band, but do it nicely.[/quote]

When I was in a male-dominated industry (science) woman would either 1) stab other women in the back or 2) run away when asked for back up. So I agree with your assessment and also believe that women are part of the problem too. [/quote]
