There's so much more to it than this. I #worked in a #job where they told you to get up & #walk around #hourly, provided #mentalhealth #people & had #volunteers to #talk to if you were #bullied & more. All of it #boxticking as #workloads were too heavy to take 5 mins each hour, the #mental #health #team shared #data on us & the #bullying #reports were never written. #Employers provide things but counter it with their #dictatorial #behaviours. #covid was ignored. theguardian.com/society/2024/o #sickness

Continued thread

And just how "optional" is it? Are employees turning up because they'll look bad if everyone else on their team goes and they don't?

A lot of managers are blind to this kind of #silent #pressure on employees. They are completely unaware of the power dynamic between management and employees, and so they misunderstand the #motivations and #behaviours of those employees.

Just because I don't act a certain way that is to your #standards of #predictable #human #behaviours doesn't make me less of a #person, but you being a fuckstick assuming your #psychoanalysis and #profiling can lump me into any of your #bullshitfuckery #categories when you don't even hold a degree in #psychology or #psychiatry is fucking #laughable you fucking #idiot!

Sudden influx of insta fllwrs = an article is out.

Wouldn't have ever called myself a RIBA chief.

But also said: "Bias will show up in widening pay gaps.

"Having the data is an amazing opp to dig behind it & look at the #behaviours, #processes & policies that are leading to e.g. staff from #underrepresented groups leaving, attracting diff grps at senior levels, & how you're treating, retaining & progressing yr talent.”

Harvard Business ReviewHow Men Get Penalized for Straying from Masculine NormsToxic masculinity has been the backdrop of several recent stories about workplace sexual harassment and assault, discrimination against women, and sexist work cultures. Fortunately, the data suggests most men do not conform to this troubling brand of masculinity. But while survey results suggest that attitudes have changed, the same can’t be said for men’s behavior. A review of 94 psychological studies, including more 24,000 people and spanning the past 40 years, found that while women have adapted to workplace norms, by engaging in more stereotypically male behavior (becoming more assertive, actively displaying ambition, and showing strength and confidence), men have not adapted alongside them. Even though business increasingly relies on relationships, trust, and reputation, men are not becoming more compassionate, warm, and understanding. Instead many men focus on leading and influencing through fear and dominance rather than building consensus and creating safe environments for employees to share ideas. Why? Research demonstrates that much the same way women face unfair backlash effects for being more masculine or not feminine enough, men similarly face backlash for not adhering to masculine gender stereotypes. This backlash is likely one (but of course not the only) reason that men engage in behaviors that harm women and are detrimental to their own careers.
