[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question would be why are the women taking on the “mental load and emotional labor” in an office?  What even is that?

In the home I get it, I’m a wife and mother and take that on, because it’s my *family*.  People I love.  But in the office, while it can definitely be stressful at times for me, what I’m doing and the amount of work isn’t any different from my male colleagues.  Are the women just letting the stress get to them more?  Are they unnecessarily getting emotional about duties or coworkers?

Wouldn’t your 90 days off lead you to coming back to the same situation?[/quote]

Depends on the company, this bank I worked at often ask women analysts to host happy hours and coordinate volunteer events. Men just need to present data findings for the same “visibility”.[/quote]

It’s good you don’t work at that bank anymore. It sounds like a toxic culture…and about a decade (or more) ago.

Create healthy boundaries with work. If you work in a toxic culture and creating boundaries actually jeopardizes your job, consider finding a new job. [/quote]
