Women In The Office: Unwritten Rules

Men get the benefit of the doubt. Men generally get hired on their promise and women on their demonstrated experience. Men are usually taken at their word, while women get challenged more, required to deliver data and substantiation for their views.
As a woman, you won't get sufficient feedback. Professional development depends upon rigorous, comprehensive, ongoing feedback on your performance. How else will you grow and improve? According to the research, your male boss may not feel comfortable delivering that information to you, so you'll need to be direct in asking for it from him and from other colleagues.
A working mother's commitment is assumed to be ambivalent. At worst, mothers are seen as potential flight risks from the organization, and therefore not worthy of any further investment. At best, mothers are denied plum travel and assignments, under the guise of benevolent protectionism, because "they won't want to leave home so much." Don't let anyone else speak or decide for you.

Another JUTC heroine born from HWT crash

Just over a month ago a female Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) bus driver was hailed as a hero for her quick response to persons needing help when an American Airlines flight overshot the runway at the Norman Manley International Airport.
Yesterday another female bus driver was given similar accolades for her role in preventing any loss of life when the vehicle she was driving ran off the road in busy Half-Way Tree, St Andrew, in the morning.
Annette Howard was the JUTC bus driver who rushed to the assistance of the passengers hurt in the aircraft mishap. The driver behind the wheels yesterday, when a number-32 bus developed mechanical problems as it turned onto Constant Spring Road from Courtney Walsh Drive, did not want to be named.
"When she tek the corner the bus get out of control and start lick some cars. The bus was swinging towards the gas station and she turn it out and carry it over here so where nobody never deh," said Richard McLeod, the only passenger on the bus at the time.
