Reading that a Gender Pay Gap Bake Sale led to death and rape threats, brought up a question “How did we get to this?” Being a minority in the office (1 female and 6 males) do I feel the gender inequality? Not anymore, but it hasn’t been always like this.

But they humour you…
And you can feel that they ... Views: 1085
So, how do you step into abundance when it seems well beyond your current level of experience?
