"You can't get promoted in your Career if you are not Married"

[WIA20XX]

Is this in response to that thread about married men being miserable and spending all their time at work?

 

[The_Sheff]

The director of my department is a single woman, the VP of the same department is a single man.

People don’t care about that shut anymore.

Married men will tough it out at work for the kids.

@Silver Surfer do you think Tim Scott could become President?

Nahhh..he rides the fence too much and he come across as a closet homosexual

A general election he would get slaughtered

i get promoted every year and single af

admit you suck at your job brehs

You're a woman.

I have a friend who is a hospital system executive at 35/36 with no husband or kids. And its largely because she has the flexibility to meet the high demands of that job without the responsibility of a family. And she’s really smart and determined.

So I’m gonna call BS. This rule really only applies to positions that require you to be a public figure, where family is valued.

You're describing a woman. @V Skyye explained this dynamic.

I think single women and married men get promoted faster. But I think it has more to do with the characteristics of the individuals than them just being single or married.

Married women with kids can be risky because women are more likely to take off work to take care of kids if they are sick or if there are issues at home that need to be handled. Single women can commit more to the job. Married men have more responsibilities. So they can be more committed to a job long term compared to single men living a bachelors lifestyle. Stage of life is important too. A single man over 40 is a red flag and gives a signal that a man is not to be taken seriously. Unless he’s divorced.

The op specifically named and asked women for input so what’s your point

He asked men and women.

A single woman would have an easier time ascending in a company than her single male counterpart is my point.

Well he was asking because someone tried to gave an example of a single woman who did not succeed and said it because she didn’t have a family . As far as my job, pretty much everybody gets promoted as long as they put the work in. I guess certain fields that are serious about business don’t play that petty bs. But you are free to your opinion

I know why he was asking.

The bolded is nonsense

Breh, that poster is notoriously dense. Don’t waste your time.

As for the quotes that the OP used, it was specifically about married men. I’m not sure why the OP included women in the question.

Corporations love to promote either lesbians (ticks two boxes or three if they’re Black) or perpetually single/on their way to becoming mammys. Why?

The former is highly unlikely to get pregnant and if she does decide to have children, it will be a surrogate or her partner carrying the baby. Whilst the latter will focus on their career and degrees and is highly unlikely to have children a la Oprah.

Career driven women are perfect to promote. By the time they decide to have children, it will either be too late or they’ll only have one if they have to take the IVF route.

It’s rare a woman who’s young and fertile will get promoted. Especially if she’s about to get married. You’re looking at multiple maternity leaves. And although it’s illegal to discriminate, small companies are not going to hire young women in their child bearing years.

Outside of the two aforementioned archetypes I mentioned, an older woman who has already had children and is divorced is ideal too. She’ll put her career first at this point. No need worry about her getting knocked up.

The dynamics are definitely different for men and women. A woman is not going to risk her reputation fukking the whole crew if she’s in a senior position. Maybe one or two but not as reckless as a man.

The OP didn’t make a distinction. In fact, he specifically mentioned Stacy Abrams. I still don’t know if I agree with that idea for men either, but most of friends are married so I don’t have much experience with that.

shyt and plus a lot of married men be trying to fukk on other women at the damn job.

All I damn see at my job, nikkas be thinking they slick with it too

I killed that logic dude was using in that thread where he posted it.

You trying too hard. Just speak for your particular circumstances and experiences because thats not everyone's, not even most. You want to liken it to upward mobility and trustworthiness in the workplace. Ive worked for 2 different industry leaders, F500 companies. One of which was a role that gave me C level access but mostly regional VP and dept head access. I can tell you now, that shyt you were saying was NOT my experience nor anyone that was around me. Ive never NOT been a bachelor and it not only HASNT hindered me, its worked more in favor in these similar scenarios you presented. Ive made money and gotten accounts off being a bachelor among these people you said would be side-eyeing me. I had one basically try to get me to date her daughter.

They dont give a fukk about you or your wife. They care about the money you can generate. And if you are putting them in the black consistently, they love you. Cause if you cant get a promotion in those work environments, it for damn sure isnt because of your marital status. Maybe some small family owned business it would matter a little more but youre talking about big companies. I got that experience, they dont give a fukk. Accept that people dont agree with you instead of trying to make it like you dropping dimes that no one else is privy to. Nixon not in office anymore champ. That dynamic you talking been dead or dying for decades.

They just making excuses for why they still wear name tags at their job. “It’s cause I wasn’t at the BBQ wasn’t it?“

So the study state that employers promote and pay married men based on the sheer fact they have a wife. Like that’s part of the formal evaluation process. They study states that?

If you read it, it explains all that. They conclude it’s likely because the other person helps with the job search. And also because the married man has more to work for than himself. Plus society thinking married men are more stable.

But yes. The world doesn’t change that fast. And maybe the next gen won’t be like this. But in this gen, the old gen is still owning the companies and making the rules. And most of them are still married. Most owners, most ceos, most mid level bosses.
