That... is a VERY interesting point.

Would be useful to get some data from 30+ yr old males to see if they learn some sense by then.

Based on a lot of reading I've done and training I've had on managing in the workplace - the short answer is "No".

A lot of the career advice for women concerning review time, raises, and promotion/internal job application AS WELL as attitudes viewed as negative in a manager revolve around "Recognition vs. Expectation" women tend to see almost every task as "part of the job" vs. "Accomplishment for a job well done" so they fail to ensure it is included in reviews - from either side of the table at review time.

Methinks they are related.

(And as for the prodding - thank you for letting me help - first time in years I've had that much fun AND felt like I was actually helping out in a tangible way)
