If I succeed it’s only because I slept my way to the top
This one white male associate was taking off for vacation and dumped his half written brief on me an hour before he was leaving. The brief was a complete mess and I started from scratch and rewrote the whole thing. When he returned and saw the brief in the computer system, he had the audacity to re-save it under his own name. I think he thought I would just take it and dutifully complete it without complaint. I was fortunate that the partner he was working with saw his draft and thought it was equally horrible. When I started working for this partner more and more the male associate started saying the partner only liked working with me because I was a girl. When I confronted him, he offered me what he thought was a compliment by saying, “If I was partner I would only want to work with all the girls too.” What’s the point of working hard to get ahead when everyone will only think you slept your way to the top? If you don’t do well, they say you can’t handle the work because you’re a girl and yet if you do well and people want to work with you, it’s still just because you’re a girl.

The truth is females have an easier time getting a job but not getting to the top because of preconceived notions. The reality is shitty co-workers are always gonna be around , work twice as hard and prove urself, once ure at the top, look down at those who challenged ure motivations and capabilities .
good luck and keep up the success
