something that i been noticing while working with young male software engineers, not all , may be vast majority of them. They would not ask for help from a woman, instead they would ask a male co worker even if that person has no experience in that area. Not sure if you guys are experiencing this? or may be im just over thinking🤔
I’ve been around the block a few times and one thing I’ve learnt is leave your ego outside the building when you step into work. If you are stuck, look for the smartest person around who can and is willing to help and seek their help. Does not matter if it is a man or a woman. At the end of the day, being able to make meaningful progress on what you are doing is what counts.
I’ve never experienced this. Probably they don’t know how to talk to women??
Yes OP & it's not only with younger generation. The older generation feels entitled as well and some of them think men are always more superior
I have experienced the same with female junior engineers. I am very approachable and have mentored several female engineers at all levels during my career. I don’t know what it’s about but I make it a point to not take it personally. I think you should do the same and not make it about your gender or theirs.
😆 I do the opposite. I would ask for help from women first 😏.
Aren’t you Amazonians are the best?
It's the same with mechanical engineers. New team members never ask my wife for help and she's the lead production line engineer. When when she politely tells the new employee they are messing up and creating more work for other people by not asking her for help, they still won't come see her. The new hire is about to be canned.
Why not ask women? As long as she looks good, smells good, isn’t that better than asking a men
Sometimes, guys are shy to talk to female-co workers initially
I don’t know what that is about, I don’t work in Hollywood. If anyone messes with me, I would whip their arse first than crying metoo!
