Laura's message:
“Does anyone remember in 2014, when the Microsoft CEO advised “that women who have good karma don’t need to ask for a raise – they should get one naturally.”? He later publicly apologized, many times, and now gives completely different advice. Research doesn’t reflect the idea of women being recognized for their work and given raises accordingly.? Instead, studies & statistics regularly point to systemic bias affecting women’s career paths. Across tech, women are offered 4% less on average than men for the same role in the same company - - A 2017 study conducted by indicates that, when women do ask for a raise, they’re seen as “bossy” or “aggressive.” - Despite this, a 2018 study by Artz, Goodall, & Oswald suggests that women actually do ask for raises as often as men, but only receive raises 15% of the time. Men receive them 20% of the time!”
