Abortion and why MEN want it abolished

12. Sexism is why I am not advancing in my job

My boss and I have had the same discussion for several years when it's time for my annual review. We both agree that I should be doing more tech reviews of the team's reports, rather than him doing all of the reviews. This is for my career advancement as well as his (I'm a senior level person, but no one's boss, and I'm doing the same work I was doing six years ago when I started there).

And he just does not want to let it go.

I think a big reason is because he knows I am a better technical writer than he is. Early in my career a mentor told me, "Don't write so that you can be understood; write so that you can't be misunderstood." I've carried that throughout my career. My reports are clear, concise, grammatically correct, and punctuated properly. His writing frequently is not. I was writing - and reviewing - technical reports while my supervisor was still in high school. I am good at it. No bragging; it's just a fact.

He'll sporadically pass some reviews on to me, but really infrequently. Yet every performance evaluation I have with him, we both agree that I should be reviewing more and he should be reviewing less. It just doesn't happen and I believe his fear of competition is why he won't let go.
