This rattles my cage so much! As a new(ish) mum who can’t make 8am meetings or after work ‘events’ at short notice, my career inevitably will be stalled because I’m not giving 110% 😡
I’m with you on this and have seen it throughout my career. I remember being pulled up because I didn’t always attend work functions and stay late when at the time I had a very demanding job and was two school aged children with special educational needs as a single mum, it use to rattle me as I was really good at my job, worked stupid hours and was still being perceived as anti social when in reality I was juggling a lot and trying to keep my sanity, socialising exactly wasn’t a priority.
I am autistic. My ability to go above and beyond is limited. This has not stopped me being a CEO in the private and Voluntary Sectors. I didn't get there by turning up at 5am for silly meetings that served no purpose!
Potentially discriminatory toward those with disabilities who can't "go above and beyond" for whatever reason. That doesn't mean they don't give the best of themselves during work hours and often give more than they should. When will employers understand this?
