Cheers to Gender Equality of Workplace Warriors
As we gather ’round our virtual water cooler on this fine #TGIF Friday, let’s take a moment to address the elephant in the room: Gender Equality.
Yes, it’s International Women’s Day, #IWD, and while the world may be shouting about breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings, let’s be realistic: only half of the population (albeit its better half!) truly knows the trials and tribulations of navigating the corporate jungle while staying true to one’s values.
Unless, of course, you’re lucky enough to work for one of those elite establishments – you know, the ones where office politics, nepotism, and the titular nation hold sway. In those places, gender equality simply becomes irrelevant.
It’s akin to holding onto your humanity while living in a monkey sanctuary. You can try to blend in, play by the rules, and form alliances, but at the end of the day, some baboon always going to remind you that you “have no balls to scratch.” And even if you have something meaningful to respond to that, your refined nature and personal values may prevent you from sharing those thoughts. Not with the baboons.
So today, let’s raise our cups in salute. Not just to the women who navigate this twisted landscape with grace and determination, but also to that better half of us who still value integrity and authenticity over the allure of a corner office.
And for those preferring endorphins for relief or needing a brief escape from the nepotistic circus, remember, our #COMA Gallery is always open to those craving a dose of leadershit endurance or seeking an extra shot of (de)motivation on the fly.
