When will corporate women rise higher?
A 50-something reader who found she couldn’t ‘have it all’ asks Fortune’s Anne Fisher if her daughter can expect better career rewards. In her October 1 Ask Annie column, Fisher explains whether to offer the next generation a reality check, or to keep quiet. Has your career turned out the way you hoped, so far? Would you advise someone just starting out in your field to follow in your footsteps? Do you think women starting careers today will advance further?
Family-friendly, or freeloader-friendly?
In a September 10 Ask Annie column a reader asks Anne Fisher whether taking time off work for certain parental responsibilities is fair to coworkers. Do parents deserve more time off than single employees? Do you think single colleagues should be more sympathetic to the demands on working parents? Do you know someone who takes advantage of their company’s liberal attitude toward work-life balance?
Is it harder for women techies to succeed?
In a poll of more than 2,000 female techies (including 16 women CIOs), 75% said they would advise a young woman to launch a career in IT, yet only 52% believe their employer offers a “favorable climate” for women, writes Anne Fisher in her June 21 Ask Annie column. Are you in tech? Does your company offer a favorable climate for women? What advice would you give a new college grad who wants to move up in the field?
Why women get paid less
Women’s unwillingness to “rock the boat” and ask for a raise is a big reason why the wage gap between college-educated women and their male counterparts has actually gotten bigger since the mid-’90s, writes Fortune’s Anne Fisher in her March 20 Ask Annie column. Do you think women shy away from asking for more money, or do you think discrimination is the real problem? What tips do you have on asking for - and getting - a raise?
