But turnover rates are worse for women. CEOs are quitting at record rates, and the small share of women at the very top are leaving the fastest. Roughly 1 in 4, or 24%, of women CEOs leave their post within two years, according to RRA data going back to 2018. That's more than twice the share of the 10% of men who leave their CEO job in that window. With an even shorter timeline, women CEOs are four times as likely as men to leave the role within a year.

Read previewIt took a while for me to realize a common name was the best type of name for my son. On one hand, my son could stand out immediately like a rockstar — memorable, fun, free-spirited; on the other, he could seamlessly slot into society, a Daniel among Daniels. While unique names reflect a shift in our society toward a culture of individualism, they also have drawbacks that I was keen to avoid. And ironically, in a sea of unconventional names, Daniel stands out in an understated way. Firstly, my son has never been the only Daniel in school, so when someone calls his name, every Daniel within earshot turns around.

Opinion: The making of a Black conservative

I had Black friends, White friends, Asian friends, Hispanic friends and mixed-race friends. But I didn’t think of them as “Black,” “White,” “Hispanic” and “mixed race.” I thought of them as Rodney, Stephen, Javier and Jordan. Where my White friends had the wind of White supremacy at their backs, I faced a headwind. I huddled with the Black kids in one corner of the room, and watched as the White kids, Hispanic kids and Asian kids awkwardly shuffled to their respective corners. Why were Black students in one of the most progressive, non-racist environments on Earth claiming to experience racism all the time?

At a conference in Miami on Tuesday, Griffin expressed deep frustration with the state of American universities, including the disastrous testimony before Congress by the presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn. Griffin, the founder of hedge fund Citadel, said he is no longer supporting Harvard financially but would like that to change. The donor backlash at Ivy League schools raises questions about the sway wealthy individuals hold over educational institutions. Just last April, Griffin made a $300 million gift to Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS). Griffin suggested that students at elite schools are “just caught up in the rhetoric of oppressor and oppressee and… just like whiny snowflakes.”The billionaire also reiterated that he won’t hire students who signed an anti-Israel statement issued by Harvard organizations in October.

Among other lifestyle changes, "I stopped using chemical straighteners," she says. Breast cancer risk was similar for Black and white women, but straightener use was far more common among Black women. Notably, research also has shown that rates of aggressive subtypes of the disease surged in the recent past among U.S. women, with Black women particularly affected. Yet aside from cancer, hair care may pose an additional concern for people planning to get pregnant. More than half of Black study participants reported using their first relaxer before they were 10 years old.

But numerically the biggest problem ... is the broken rungs," Lean In founder Sheryl Sandberg tells CNBC. The key issue: for every 100 men promoted from entry-level to manager, 87 women, and only 73 women of color, are promoted. And while the promotion rate for Black women to manager rose in 2020 and 2021, last year that rate fell back to 2019 levels. The report debunks four key myths – including that the glass ceiling is the biggest factor holding women back, when it's really the broken rung. "Our data is super, super clear that women are more ambitious, or as ambitious as men, more ambitious than they were before Covid," says Sandberg.

In November 2021, the complainant was moved to the Office of Equality at Salesforce, where she reported to the company's Chief Equality Officer. This complainant is not the first Black woman to complain of biased and unfair treatment at Salesforce.

As a woman and a person of color, I've been on the receiving end of many microaggressions. "It's not enough to simply eliminate negative interactions — we also need to encourage positive ones." "Different microvalidations will be affirming for different people and in different circumstances, so it's important to know your audience and context."

Decades of data shows that young Black men are disproportionately more likely to die in encounters with police than Whites. But young Black girls face some of the same vulnerabilities – as well as some particular ones. My Black daughters shouldn’t have to feel like they’re responsible for everyone else around them. Black women are often expected to raise their voices and pick up cell phones to protect family, friends and even strangers. The dangers of shopping while Black are well documented; Black women are accustomed to being racially profiled by retail workers who follow them in stores.

Stephanie Vollmer moved to Germany from South Korea about 18 months ago. I was teaching English in South Korea when I met my now-husband in 2021. In the US and South Korea, I was used to people being friendly toward visitors trying to learn the language.

When I lived in South Korea, I was much closer to my dad and my stepmom, who lived in the Philippines.

When women are able to thrive in the workplace, it benefits men, too: Men who work well with women and use the talents of a diverse team outperform their peers, LeanIn reports. Here are five things men can do right now to support their female colleagues, per Lipman:'Interrupt the interrupter'Several studies have found that men talk and interrupt more often than women. Give women credit for their ideasResearch has shown that women get less credit while working in groups than men do. Take paternity leaveIf the benefit is available to them, another move men can make to help level the playing field for women in the workplace is to take paternity leave.

I promise there are some simple and immensely helpful ways in which LGBTQ people and allies can take action in June and every month. Don Arnold/Getty ImagesIf you don’t know where to begin with lobbying, look to an LGBTQ or civil rights group doing the hard work on the ground. Commit to learning and teaching: Even members and strong allies of the LGBTQ community can benefit from fresh learning. After all, the LGBTQ community is anything but a monolith — there are so many diverse forms of representation and a landscape that is quickly evolving. It’s also not a bad time to support brands that are supportive of the LGBTQ community.

The lens of the story moves from his point of view to that of the missing girl, who is found after three days of sheltering inside a hollow tree to hide her first period from the prettier, wealthier girls. To the outside world, she is missing; she sees it as protecting herself. Reich’s stories have a density to them: long paragraphs weighted with rich description, bricks placed carefully to build constructions capable of supporting the weight of history. Alejandro Varela’s THE PEOPLE WHO REPORT MORE STRESS: Stories (244 pp., Astra House, $26) is a master class in analyzing the unspoken.

Bosses hate work from home because 'home' is for women
  + stars: | 2023-04-17 | by ( Aki Ito | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
And the old way was clear: The office is for work, and the home is for — well, for whatever unpaid stuff it is that women do while their men are at work. Skeptical that work — real work — could be done at home, bosses quietly penalized the women who opted for flexible schedules by sticking them with boring assignments and denying them promotions. Embracing remote work is a good start, but it comes with risks of its own. Since the pandemic hit, I've heard a few CEOs liken remote work to opening Pandora's box. Women working from home are no longer the aberration — tradition-bound executives are.
The R.T.O. Whisperers Have a Plan

Resistors are typically senior-level employees and high performers, workers who aren’t worried that defying return-to-office rules will yield professional consequences. Those are the employees who when pushed to return to the office will quit — either on the spot or in the months after R.T.O. It’s not about remote workers detaching from work, but instead about people resisting when pushed toward working conditions they don’t like. Workers of color, who can feel marginalized within corporate work structures, tend to bristle at return-to-office mandates, Tsipursky said. A survey from FlexJobs, a remote-employment search site, found that 80 percent of women ranked remote work as a top job benefit, compared with 69 percent of men.

Microaggressions — a harmful statement to marginalized groups — are a common example of bias at work. This is when someone witnesses a biased statement and chooses to ignore it or does not take action to call attention to it. To practice being an upstander, the next time you witness a biased statement, consider trying one or more of these five phrases. For severe forms of microaggressions or habitual behavior, a one-on-one conversation is likely best. These phrases can open the conversation, rather than offend or shame others that make well-intentioned mistakes.
Xena Stryker left corporate America several years ago after feeling discriminated against. The company, Xena Design + Marketing Firm, has offices in Atlanta and Beverly Hills, California. At a previous job, I was the only Black woman at an architectural firm with hundreds of designers. I started my own company, Xena Design + Marketing Firm, and life is phenomenal right now. If you're in a similar position as I was previously in corporate America, my advice is: dream big, determine your unique selling point, find a supportive dream team, and get out.
Some of the world's most powerful women are calling it quits. To give some context, for every woman stepping into a director-level leadership role, two are choosing to leave, says Alexis Krivkovich, McKinsey senior partner and an author of the joint Lean In and McKinsey "Women in the Workplace" report. The pattern has the potential to unwind decades of progress toward gender equity and increased female leadership in the workplace, she tells CNBC Make It. "They're meeting their goals and being successful, and some are choosing to leave before they get burned out," Workman adds. The problem remains that there are too few women in high levels of leadership, Krivkovich says: "Lots of men leave their positions, but we analyze and scrutinize when women leaders do in a different way.
