LeanIn.org and SurveyMonkey just released the results of a survey on the state of men and women interacting in the workplace in the age of #MeToo. The results are frustrating. The data reveals that 60% of male managers say they are uncomfortable performing common workplace activities such as mentoring, working one on one, or socializing with a woman. That's a 32% increase over last year.
To add insult to insult, senior-level men who were surveyed are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior female colleagues than junior male ones, across a range of basic work activities. The men were 12 times more likely to hesitate to have one-on-one meetings, nine times more likely to hesitate to travel with a junior woman for work, and six times more likely to hesitate to have a work dinner with a junior woman.

A 32% increase in one year is a dramatic social trend.

have dumped me in the deep end without a paddle.
I had *ONE* female manager who didn't, although based on her conduct with other employees that was how she was with everyone. One of the few managers I ever had that would put in line worker time if we couldn't keep up, because in the end it was her responsibility and she lead by example.
She ended up getting reassigned departments during management upheaval and then transferred to a location closer to her home. She'd done all that and been commuting 2x as far as anyone else, getting there earlier and leaving later than anyone in the department.
Her boss in turn, also a woman, fucked off at work and finally got transferred to a better management position, abandoning the whole location with a few days notice. It was a pretty sloppily managed company overall, and they have since declared bankruptcy. Once a fortune 500 business too.
