In addition to Tax Day, there's another big occasion happening today. It's Equal Pay Day, a day that us women aren't exactly celebrating. That's because we're far and away from making equal pay to our male counterparts. Let's make some progress by making plans to ask for a raise, but before you do so, keep these salary negotiating mistakes in mind when negotiating your salary bump. Don't bring Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! There are a lot of ways that men and women differ, but we bet there’s one you might not guess right off the bat. Retirement. Yes, retirement. According to a January 2012 study by Ameriprise Financial, more men than women have determined how much money they’ll need to retire, have set aside money in their investments for Read more
Many of us look up to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg as a role model because she's one of the most successful female business leaders of our time. She's consistently ranked by Forbes as one of the most powerful women in the world and she's estimated to be worth a cool $1.6 billion. She's the face of women trying to crack the glass ceiling, and with so many glowing praises showered on Sandberg, I Read more
Women have distinctive body language that are very characteristic of their gender, but some habits may hinder their success. One habit in particular, the constant head nodding, is not necessarily a positive trait in the workforce. Throughout conversations, women have the tendency to keep nodding, which although makes one seem agreeable, may also come off as being too eager to please. Bobbing Read more
We often hear of female professionals being discriminated against, but what if it were the men? Jimmy Fallon has recently been sued by former employee Paul Tarascio under the claim that Tarascio was a victim of gender bias. The former stage manager says that he was replaced by a "totally incompetent woman" who was also "less qualified" in 2010. Other male staffers were also replaced by women and Read more
Ambition used to mean climbing the corporate ladder and making more money. However, a recent More magazine survey revealed that women are now seeing success as having a better work-life balance and flexibility. Two out of three women polled would accept lower pay in exchange for more free time, and 73 percent said they would not want their boss's job. The Early Show featured Pamela Skillings, a Read more
We're thrilled to present this smart LearnVest story here on Savvy! Apparently some things don’t improve with age. According to a study by Payscale.com, women tend to top out their compensation at age 37, while men keep getting raises until age 45. Even more infuriating, while men’s salaries in the study rose to an average of $95,000, women’s plateaued at just $61,000. The good-ish news? Read more
This anonymous posting comes from our Savvy Confessions group, where all identities are kept anonymous. I just started my internship at this company that I love. I love everything I'm doing and I really like the people there. There is only one thing that worries me. I realized that we have a lot of women at our company. At the last meeting I was at, there were 24 women and one guy. Normally it's Read more
Although we all agree that dressing to impress can be beneficial in a work environment, being pressured by your employer to put on makeup might be taking it a little too far. Melanie Stark, 24, who worked in the HMV department in British retailer Harrods, was so stressed out by her managers asking her to comply with the department store's strict dress code that she ended up leaving her job. The Read more
There are very few women at the top. Only 12 of the Fortune 500 companies are run by women. Sadly, one of the reasons may be that there seems to be a general consensus among people, even women, that male bosses make better managers. The preference for male supervisors was clearly visible from the results of a poll which surveyed about 2,000 Bristish women, 63 percent of whom would rather have a Read more
