Scene: A conference room in a global company, somewhere in the city, remote and on-site in the same time. The Head of Department XY, a woman, speaks assertively during a meeting about work progress, tasks and other work related thigs. The room goes silent as a male colleague responds, accusing her of being too emotional in this topic and ask her to stop being passive aggressive. Everyone is silent or mute.
Sounds like a scene straight out of a 1990s sitcom, doesn’t it? Well, buckle up, dear readers, because this is a reality that many women still face in the workplace today.
