What discriminates in the workplace is not "weak women", but "weakness"

Lead: In the workplace, finally, senior leaders are mentally the same as men and women, and have a lot of sexuality. Share an inspirational article in the workplace, welcome to read.

I have a reader, 27 years old, who was recently brushed off in a competitive position and is a little unhappy. I asked her if she could reflect and summarize why she was brushed off, and she said it was difficult to determine now. Because of the five candidates, the one who went up was the only male. This makes several women feel a little whisper:

? Have we encountered the legendary gender discrimination in the workplace?

She asked me what I thought of this matter, and I said that it was actually difficult to determine what the truth was through an example. But as a person who is also in the workplace, I strongly advise all women to use it carefully? Suffering from gender discrimination? This concept, because if this concept is formed, its conclusion will directly lead to your future work mentality may be biased, perhaps, the workplace situation is far more complicated than you think.

please analyze calmly. Because? Calm analysis? This action, I think, is one of the greatest workplace abilities of a woman in the future. This ability may be able to make up for what the world has crowned us? Weak woman? This hat.

Face up to the fact that gender discrimination does exist in the workplace.

on the surface,? If you want to have children, don't expect a promotion; If you want to get promoted, you should be the devil alone? It seems to be a tacit secret for women and employers in the workplace.

Women aged 25-35 who are in the golden age of career development and family formation, especially married women who have not yet given birth, will feel obvious gender discrimination in the process of re-employment after giving birth. (The data comes from Zhaopin's "217 China Women's Workplace Survey Report")

Many people think that the second-child policy has also promoted women's employment discrimination, and married women think that family has become an important reason to hinder promotion.

Even more women believe that discrimination in the workplace comes from female employers rather than men. This may be that female employers understand better? It's harder to be a woman, and it's harder to be a married and educated woman in the workplace? There is a deeper requirement for the balance ability of the employed.

as a matter of fact, I randomly interviewed several working women around me who are married and have children, but are still playing with their lives. Through their opinions, I have come to the following conclusions which I think are very objective and valuable.

workplace? Discrimination against women? Weak, in fact, there are two kinds.

the first is the helpless natural weakness.

is something we are naturally irresistible. The days of each month, the hard work of pregnancy in October, and the family career during lactation are difficult to balance. This determines that as an employer, it is inevitable to take into account the' weak position' brought by the marriage and childbirth of female employees. This natural weakness needs the attention of the whole society. Children are the next generation of the whole society, and enterprises have the responsibility to provide a safe and stable maternity leave environment for female employees; The state has the responsibility to provide better medical benefits and maternity leave system for women, and advocate the maternity leave mode for husbands whose wives are breastfeeding.

As an employer, I need to recruit an assistant recently, and I am very happy to see female assistant candidates who come to apply for a job while their children are still breastfeeding. I asked them if they were forced by the economy. In fact, they said that they were fine, but they were anxious and felt that they would be eliminated if they didn't go to work. When I refused them, I was actually very sorry, fearing that they felt completely hindered by their mother's identity, which was actually only one of the comprehensive considerations.

as a professional woman who has also experienced postpartum depression and worked as a lactation period, I: Face up to this natural weak period of yours and don't push yourself too hard at this most difficult time? Balance life? . You have to prove yourself, and you are not in a hurry. Breastfeeding is really the best time for a woman to hide her light and bide her time. Physically, it may be a little harder, but it is really the best time to accompany children and relax. You can be patient and play down this in the minds of employers in a few months. Be overwhelmed? After you step into the workplace, at that time, you can completely release your power to prove your ability to work.

during this period, you can recharge your batteries at a slow pace. Don't worry, take your time. Reading a page a day and subscribing to some audio columns are also ways to keep pace with the times.

second, people who can overcome themselves are weak.

after countless women were killed by their own? Natural weakness? Hit, in this? In the job market where gender discrimination in the workplace is extremely sensitive? We seem to have heard different voices.

One is the outstanding women who have never felt discriminated against.

Ma Weiwei, a super debater, is also the founder of Miguo Culture. He once raised the question of? I don't feel inferior to female entrepreneurs, but I have great advantages? Point of view, speak for women and advocate gender equality. In this view, we seem to get an opportunity: when the job market is not very friendly to women, Entrepreneurship market? Although cruel, it still opens the door to a group of energetic, thoughtful and enterprising women with its flexible working environment and free working hours.

the reason is: In the classical society, the tradition of male heroism as strength and beauty has faded away. In the economic field, a brand-new economic model with knowledge, innovation, experience and service as its main content has given women an increasingly large performance stage. ?

To put it bluntly, when the physical age gives way to the mental age, it is inevitable that women will have opportunities and more challenges.

not only? Entrepreneurship market? I need to work every day, said a female marketing director of a well-known enterprise with two children. I have never felt discriminated against. During my second child's pregnancy, all kinds of people threw olive branches at me, saying that as long as I was willing to go to their company and give me paid maternity leave, I could skip work during lactation, and then I would wake up after attending a meeting twice a week.

Her deeds prove that when you have good enough working ability, everyone will help you with your natural weakness.

The workplace may discriminate against women, but it really loves women, and it loves capable women even more. Besides, it is women themselves who discriminate against women.

With the rise of knowledge-based economy, although women have made great progress in salary increase, there is still gender discrimination in promotion, and the smog hanging over women in the workplace is still thick.

Zhaopin answered this question with an interesting experiment. A general-purpose sales director was selected as the recruitment position, and the same resume was marked with different genders and sent to male and female HR. In the employment selection of different gender candidates, female HR preferred to hire male employees, while male HR had no obvious bias in this respect.

In other words, discrimination against women comes from women themselves.

Women in the workplace are more conservative, and 61% of women will consider trying a new position only when the matching degree between the resume and the position is more than 7%.

Women in the workplace are more skeptical, with 32% of them unable to judge when they should be promoted.

is it easier for women in the workplace? Internal attribution? 4% of women attribute the obstacles to promotion to their lack of personal ability and experience.

So all we have to do is, even take the opportunity to meet the challenge.

how to meet? I think:

First, we should avoid our natural weakness scientifically.

knowing that you won't be able to work in those days, arrange things to do in advance; Knowing that a child is poor for three years, prepare a maternity fund for yourself when you are the youngest and the most profitable; Knowing that you may have to stay at home for a few years, re-develop other vocational skills and try your best to do it? If you don't go to work, can you make money? . For yourself in advance? Those years? Prepare mentally and materially. Admit that children will experience a helpless dark time before they are three years old, but remember to keep their mentality and ability to break through.

This means that no matter whether you are a 22-year-old undergraduate graduate or a 25-year-old graduate student, you will never have time to talk about yourself again? I'm too young to know anything. . You need to have a very clear plan for yourself when you first enter the workplace, and the ability to deal with emergencies (such as unexpected pregnancy, meeting true love around the corner, etc.). Are you online? Handsome single dog? Do a good job for your natural weak period? Build a wall and accumulate grain? Preparation.

second, overcome your artificial weakness.

It's the problem that you may lose points even if you are a man. Indecision, complaining, and being emotional? These weaknesses need to be overcome by yourself, so don't take the blame as a woman. As I did in the interview sample of Zhaopin, I also found that this sample came from 43% of grassroots employees, and the highest salary ratio was from 1999 to 4999? That is to say, this group of people feel the most serious discrimination. But does this mean that the career bottleneck may not be brought about by your female identity; And this is the most difficult time to survive in the workplace?

the most regrettable thing is that you think you are a woman, so you were eliminated, right? Female? This identity has become your original sin; But the truth may also be that you are not qualified for that position, or that you, like men, just happen to be in a position as a? Gender-neutral staff The most painful period of development.

Actually, Woolf said: Great souls are hermaphroditic. In the workplace, finally, senior leaders are mentally the same as men and women, and have a lot of sexuality. Only when you become a better woman will your voice be heard by the society, and then more benefits will be won for more ordinary women.

you can be charming with red lips. But when it comes to work, you are heroic. In the workplace, the highest number of paragraphs is that you finally forget your age and gender.

overcome the artificial weakness and fill the natural weakness. Then, let the whole world willingly create the best living and working environment for us, the mothers of children?

this is our way out.

This is how generations of women ride the wind and waves in the workplace.
