[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see why she annoys people.  But I also she's calling out some pretty real shit and people don't like hearing it.  The idea that who you marry will be the most important decision you make in terms of your career couldn't be more spot on.

That's a fact. It reminds me of my former boss who is now in very high up executive position in the finance. When I worked for her, she was married and so was our big boss.  She was sleeping with him. After they divorced, she married the big boss - sort of upgraded her husband and her career took off like a shooting star.  She looks really successful, but what she did to get there is sick.  I wouldn't want my daughter to get career advice from her.[/quote]

Wow, how irrelevant.  So you know a woman who slept with a married man and ultimately married him which helped her career.  I know you know this, but that's not the point Sheryl Sandberg was making in the least.[/quote]

No, it is totally relevant because most women who make it to the top had a mentor relationship, where sex is the currency .  Women don't like to acknowledge this fact, but even in 2017, it's not who you know, it's who you blow - (latest example Fox News).  I wonder who Sheryl blew to get her career breaks.[/quote]

This is such utter bullshit it is almost not worth responding to. In fact, yeah. Never mind.[/quote]

Women don't like to acknowledge it, but that the way things work very often.  It's illegal in many/most cases so it's like the elephant in the board room that no one likes to talk about.[/quote]

Oh yes, any women who make it to the top slept with a dude to get there and don't forget any minority who has a senior level job just got the job because he or she is a minority.  Right??  The only people who really got their jobs based on merit are white guys.

Excellent contribution to the discussion PP.  Solid points.[/quote]

You are naive. Take off your rose colored glasses girl. Ha![/quote]

Nope. But you are a pathetic. I'm sorry that you don't have the ability to be successful any place but on your back. Your experiences there are not the norm.[/quote]

I am a Feminist and I've had a long career so I've seen a lot, I know a lot of brilliant, educated women. I think women can be successful via hard work and talent. Many will get to the middle. It's very difficult for women to get to the top without extreme ambition and help. Hey we almost had a woman in the top job in the USA - the White House. That is the reality of the world. I'm sorry that it's like that, but it is. Don't believe me?  Go look at the top management teams at big companies - what do you see?[/quote]

What does any of that have to do with you sleeping around at work? You clearly don't think women are successful unless they do the boss, you've said it repeatedly. Again, your behavior is NOT the norm.[/quote]
