If you're a successful woman, you've probably seen your fair share of 'small men' trying to act big around you. For some reason, the male ego is so extremely fragile that just the idea of being shown up by a lady is somehow terrifying to them. As if we can't do everything a man can do (except backward and in high heels)?!
However, men rarely get caught with their tails between their legs in the workplace, especially fleeing a woman's success like this one micro-victory will threaten the salary which is already well over 110% of hers. But in our next story, this 'old-fashioned' supervisor gets caught discriminating against the young, educated woman who took over his department, threatening to fire her simply because she's a woman.
Unluckily for the crusty old man working in this industrial factory, he's going head to head against a sharp, young professional in the presence of HR. Say what you said again, Buddy–this time for the cameras.
