Comment on Why I Now Believe the Glass Ceiling Is Real

Comments

I have no idea what truly happened but it seems:

    1. younger person finds *rock star* older person
    2. older person says yes, then says no, and says 
       well I am not impressed enough with you
    3. company says report to a higher up, and we will 
       vp'gold you
    4. younger person says sexism!
It's an interesting claim but Occam also suggests it could be ageism + way better offer. Do we really know this older person would have accepted the same offer from the equivalent male younger person?

I think it's great she has a coach, honestly, I am not sure that's a privilege many of us have.

I don't know who this rock star was or where they ended up, but meebo, didn't that finish as an acqui-hire?

The "higher up" in this case was Seth Sternberg, born 1979 according to CrunchBase. I'm guessing Elaine and Seth are about the same age.

Yes, however he is still a higher up (President) and the new employee's title is vice-president with one connection from the president not manager or sr. connecting to VP connecting to president.
