[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have had do deal this with this issue before.  Just as PP mentioned, it's DC, not you.

Document, document, document.  Network like crazy and find something new.  Things will not improve.[/quote]

I have been here, too.  It will never improve.   I was one of the hardest workers on my team (I can honestly say I was probably [i]the[/i] hardest worker on my team) and consistently got amazing feedback from stakeholders, but was the only member of my team not to get a promotion for a total BS reason after I had delivered in a big way on a major project.  I was honestly shocked by the justification I was given by my supervisor as it was utterly petty and absurd.  She just did not like me for reasons I still don't understand.  Found a new job in the same field but with supportive supervisors.  I am much, much happier and have received lots of recognition - multiple awards and bonuses - but the way my boss treated me you'd have thought I was horrible at my job.  Nothing I could have done would have made this woman happy.

I think not all women are like this - I briefly had a really good female supervisor - but I have never encountered the unbelievable level of petty BS that I did as a female when the two next people in my chain of command were women.[/quote]
