I had a manager with a temper and one day he wasn’t happy with my actions because they got him in trouble. Once he arrived at work and realized I was visibly upset about how he treated me he looked at me and said, “Hon, go get a snack. You’ll feel better.” NEVER would he say something like to my male co-worker and in a workplace where I am the only female being called “hon” does nothing for my credibility as a reliable employee. I feel like I’m living in “9 to 5: The Musical” most of the days I’m at work.

Also, I get customers at my job who will start to express their concerns to me, but the moment my male coworker is off the phone or finished with their customer they will break off their conversation with me to seek help from him; sometimes even midsentence. I have watched a few of these customer stand back and refuse to work with me. Funnily enough, I’m the employee that’s been working there the longest.
