You should confront your boss on him going behind your back and talking poo poo about you to your coworkers. Or better yet, talk to his boss about it.

I would highly recommend you document everything. You may have no intention to use it now, but you don't know what will happen in the future and if something comes up documenting everything then may be hard or impossible. For example you have access to slack conversations with both your manager and coworkers now that you could lose access to.

If someone has revealed themselves to be a prejudicial rear end in a top hat, it would behoove you to believe them. Confronting them might resolve the issue, or it might make it much worse and more covert. If I was LGBT I personally would probably also be thinking very carefully about whether to take it to the next level. But yes documenting it is important at the very least.

i do keep a trove of documentation so no worries there. I'd just rather focus my energy in finding a new job to move forward into than having a standoff with a toxic group.

While talking with my SO about this kind of stuff, we both started looking into how this works as a gendered thing and so looked for books on the topic. We found the most highly recommended book on this topic is "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office". It is OK about introducing that women need to ask for more, but also does not say (often) that "guys are inherently biased against this for a ton of reasons". She has since found a much better job and negotiated into actually being paid well from taking this book's advice.

I have been trying to think of better approaches than this in the same kind of context, but I'm stupid so I can't. I would like men to be less inclined to manage/act like this, and for poo poo to be less systematically stacked against anyone who is not a white man, but the aggressive line can work.

yeah I'm focusing on an internal transfer right now. I uprooted my family to work here and I'm not quite ready to throw my hands up entirely.

hey you gotta focus on you

if an internal transfer gives you time to lick your wounds without loving up your family situation, that's a no-brainer. good on you

the danger, such as it is, is that an internal transfer without a promotion or significant raise is basically starting the clock over at that job. it's like you start again. for good or ill

hopefully you are getting out from under that shithead soon enough that not much career time is lost, or your connections inside the firm are valuable enough to justify time otherwise wasted

internal transfers can work out. i transferred away from a loving terrible boss and was promo'd within a year under new boss. the tricky part is finding a new boss that doesn't suck.

My friend is an eloquent speaker.

sitting on a plane to spend the day with the ceo, cto, and cpo of a start up after the ceo reached out to me asking if I would be “receptive to a conversation” about how to help his company crack the enterprise market. its my first startup investigation after making a small name for myself in enterprise initiatives in my space, so thanks for the startup questions so I don’t sound like an idiot. problem is I don’t think they could match my current comp, and though they have an established customer base and revenue stream, and their product is in a space that is about to grow significantly for enterprise use cases IMO, i don’t think i would take a pay cut nor ditch my current, pretty deece job. maybe they will surprise me and offer me something like $250 base and equity- but since i am sitting on a delta economy flight for the day trip out, and I have to arrange my own transport to their hq, i don’t think they could manage such an offer.

or maybe they are smart on their expenditures and actually spend where to counts. tbd.

and since when it rains it pours, my old VP reached out to me with a senior director role at a fortune 100, giving me full reign of my space there to transform it as i see fit based on what he has seen my do at the companies i went to when i left him about 6 years ago. downside- Dallas, Texas. but that one could have major figgie potential since they want exactly what i am selling, badly. but loving Texas.

no harm in hearing them out.

We don't need Rome telling us what to do.
having trouble finding entry level computer jobs on the usual boards. their mostly classified as "new grad" positions which i am not. either my resume is real bad or I have to accept that employers wont waste their time until I complete my degree next year. job boards keep trying to steer me to cnc jobs instead which is demoralizing. my company does literally nothing with computers it seems so a transfer is unlikely.

If you've got no experience consider a short term contract to get something on the resume. You will get much better opportunities after that
