I am the only woman in my dept and the also the only one amongst HODs … it’s hard really really hard at times , people have lesser tolerance when it comes to a woman making mistakes and men have a very tough time accepting a woman as their boss. They really made my life hell and still do at times. I sometimes feel that I am fighting a war with them on daily basis.
But at the end of the day don’t care what they think I just concentrate on my work because I need to earn money for home , my self and my daughter…I need to run my life.
just do your work , learn to ignore because ignorance is a BLISS and focus on what on the needs for which you are working.
My mom has been in an IT industry for 18+ years with mostly all men in her department at her previous job; She also did the heavy lifting of hardware and
whatnot. I have never seen her fret over any of these issues even at the beginning. She is always been awesome at her job Mash’Allah!!
It’s a job just like any other. If you do it well no one is going to treat you any different; concentrate on doing well and give your ALL;
and thats pretty much all that you can do instead of worrying.
