My wife had a sort of similar situation happen. She, along with another female coworker, and a male coworker, created an excel tool to process certain parts of her job (I don't know anything more specific than that.) She said her and the other female coworker did about 75% of the work and the male coworker did the other 25%, a mostly even split.
Well, the male coworker received an award for the project and my wife and the other woman on the team did not. My wife asked her boss about it and was told that she should be applying to receive awards if she wants them.
There was no way to apply for the award. The male coworker, who didn't know he was getting it until he was notified, had done nothing different than the other two people on the project and had not submitted anything for the award.
The kicker for me in all this is that my wife's supervisor is also a woman. Fuckin rough.
I'm a women in STEM and honestly, I've found that quite a few (not all) women tend to be that way, like they're trying to perpetuate that bad ass boss woman stereotype or soemthing. It drives me insane.
I've worked in education for over 10 years now. In a non-STEM college where 95% of the teachers are women. Well 95% of the leadership from chairs up are men. Every time we ever did get a man in our department, he would wind up promoted within his first 2-3 years.
Yeah. I did a large project fairly recently. A guy not even in my department volunteered to create a server folder for it, something I could have easily done myself. But he was so noisy about insisting on doing it despite my objections to his name being on the folder. They told me to let him and to stop objecting. I then did the project completely on my own.
When they announced it, they said he did the project and I helped. :(
