The responses to my retirement post are a real eye opener.

100. I turned in my notice at one job

because, when my boss was demoted (gambling addict who missed too much work), the bulk of his work fell to me and the rest was divvied up between two male employees who got raises for the extra work. I did not get a promotion or pay raise for the extra load dumped on me.

The manager of another department in the company that my work was related to was concerned about me leaving. When I told him why, he was appalled at the blatant sexism and offered me a job in his department since I already knew the work there. Got an immediate, substantial raise and remained there until I married and relocated for my husband's job.

The manager who had refused to promote me or give me a raise was replaced shortly after my transfer to the other department.
