A former high-ranking editor at the New York Post filed an $8 million discrimination lawsuit against the paper Tuesday, claiming she was forced out of her job because management wanted an all-male leadership team.
Maralyn Matlick, who worked at the paper for 25 years before her dismissal in February 2002, claims Post publisher Lachlan Murdoch wanted only Australian and British men in the jobs. The Post denies the claim.
Hasn't everyone been in a job situation where management's ideas ran roughshod over what was working fine? Hasn't everyone seen a good employee passed over for promotion, because it seems a leader doesn't like some personal quality they have? Sometimes it happens because you are a woman, but sometimes it happens because you wear brown suits. The danger of working for someone else is that they never quite understand your abilities and reward you for them. The only solution is to work for yourself, then the boss is constantly reminded of your grace and charm.
