Most Americans dont care about their managers gender

Most Americans dont care about their managers genderMost Americans dont care about their managers genderNew Gallup researchhas found that 55% of Americans now say that if they had a new position, and it was up to them to pick a manager, they would have no preference in terms of their bosss gender.This is a far cry from the first time Gallup posed this question to respondents in 1953. Back then, 66% of Americans wanted to report to a male boss, a tiny 5% favored a female boss, and 25% didnt mind, either way.Today, just 23% would rather have a male boss, while 21% would rather have a female one.Gallup surveyed 1,028 U.S. adults who were at least 18 years old for the latest research.Here are some of the other findings.What men wantGallup found that among men, just 19% currently prefer a male supervisor, 13% would rather have a female supervisor, and 68% dont mind either way.Back in 1953, a full 75% of men preferred to have a male manager, only 2% wanted a female one, and 21% didnt have a preference.While Gallup points to sexual harassment allegations surrounding Harvey Weinstein and others as a fhigkeit reason for the latest findings that people dont overwhelmingly favor having male bosses anymore (respondents were surveyed in early November), it reports that the change couldve happened at any time since the question was posed three years ago.However, this shift in attitudes has been underway for a while.The percentage of U.S. adults preferring a male boss is now 23%, 10 percentage points lower than the last reading in 2014 - but 43 percentage points lower than the initial 1953 reading,Gallup later reported.What women wantGallup found that 28% of women currently want a female boss, 27% want a male boss, and 44% dont mind either way.Counterintuitively, perhaps, women report a greater preference for male bosses than men do only 19% of men prefer a male boss. Men are also far more likely to be agnostic on the question than women, with 68% reporting no preference, co mpared to 44% of women.There is also a generational gap among women, with younger women preferring female bosses, while older women are more divided.

Career Advice From Sarah Maslin Nir - The Muse

Career Advice From Sarah Maslin Nir - The MuseCareer Advice From Sarah Maslin NirEarlier this week, I attended a talk featuring Sarah Maslin Nir, New York Times staff reporter and author of the papers recent Unvarnished series. Her expertly researched articles, The Price of Nice Nails and Perfect Nails, Poisoned Workers (if you havent read them yet- you should) sparked a massive nationwide conversation about the working conditions of employees in the nail industry (and otzu sichs), led to emergency salon worker protection mandates by New York governor Andrew Cuomo, and were globally trending on Twitter- the first time in history for the publication. Its not only the type of assignment every journalist dreams of getting, but also the response. Her words will change lives, for the better. So naturally, the audience, many of whom were reporters earlier in their careers, were dying to know how she got where she did. Turns out, she did it by thinking big. The journalist describes a time i n her early reporting days when she longed to write for the paper and when she realized that to do so, she needed to change her way of thinking. No, she didnt write for the New York Times- but that was only because she didnt write for the New York Times. And it was absolutely within her power to make it happen.So she did. She started sending pitches in to any section editor she could find, and her efforts paid off. She soon had a couple of bylines for the paper, which turned into more frequent assignments, which turned into a column, which eventually turned into a full-time reporting position. And how did that turn into this incredible year-long assignment? A young reporter asked just that How did Nir know she was at the point in her career when she was ready- when she knew she was there? I just did it, she replied. In fact, the way you will never get there is by thinking youre not there yet.I took her words to mean this Often, the only thing holding us back from big opportunities, plum assignments, and incredible jobs is ourselves and our thinking that were not ready- that were not there. No, you probably cant land a job that requires 20 years of experience when youve only got two. But if your dream company has a role listed thats only slightly out of reach? Or if theres an assignment at work you know you could do, if given the chance? Instead of wondering if youre ready, why not at least give it a shot? After all, if Nir hadnt taken those shots, theres very little chance shed be where she is today.One final career lesson from the journalist? Dont give up. Nir told the audience that she initially became curious about the nail salon industry and pitched the story four years ago. Her editor then didnt assign the article. But her curiosity stayed piqued, and years later, she pitched it again. The rest, as you know, is history. Photo courtesy of New America.

The company also said that if they do not get enough funding, they will keep investing their money to schliff the product for commercial production and seek an investor for the launch. The companys press kit doesnt include biographies of its executives, so its not clear what their previous experience is.
