I recently started a new job in aerospace and I’m so excited about it, it’s literally my dream job. However, the two men I have been assigned to work with have both decided that they have a large issue with me. They complained to my managers that I am not competent and “not working hard enough,” but when asked for further detail they couldn’t provide any. They have been gatekeeping assignments from me and overall being hostile. At first I was concerned that there was actual improvements that I needed to make, because if two separate people have issues with me that must be a sign. However, both my managers assured me that they do not believe their complaints are rooted in anything other than sexism. I’m being moved to other projects, but this is still frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this? I guess I don’t really have anything specific im seeking, just sad this is how my first month is going at a job I’m really excited about. It’s been a hard week

I recently saw that he was arrested and prosecuted for first degree aggravated assault against her, and this really shook me. I felt so terrible that another woman had to go through this. I decided to reach out to her and acknowledge that I don’t know her situation and I’m in no way trying to pry, but I was in her shoes before and she isn’t alone. I told her if she ever needed someone to talk to I was there. Can some of you shed light on how this would make you feel, or if something similar has happened to you? I don’t want to make her feel worse. I know I would have appreciated the message, but we’re all different.
