Rob and me exchanged a vision of our ideal day (job, partner, love-life) once. Mine included working as an ideologist/creative counselor in L.A., a man looking much like Raphael on my side, sparse yet loving sex, an all organic household. :) so simple so far away.
The truth is..I worked my ass off in every job I had, mainly because I HAD a lot of energy and simply put it into the job. Every job I worked for benefitted from my woeking overtime very often, creative input, knowledge. Those werent great jobs, so there was a lot of input. I never thought about it much, being a virgo- I just did what had to be done. (Until the breakdown.)
When I returned to Austria over England and Germany, I encountered mobbing, respectlessness and the gender gap for the first time in my working life. As a result, I worked even harder- for no to very little pay.
Needless to say, noone ever noticed. If your hard work was actually noticed, it led to further mobbing.
Now I am sick and tired of this crap, sick and tired of people fucking around and acting stupid when there is simply a JOB waiting to be done..and this is one of the reasons why I am still having serious problems when looking for "a job". I am highly qualified, but traumatised, and angry.
I never believed in the income gap. Until I had a job before my studies..I was 23 back then. In a callcenter, and part-time. The women, some of them teamleading, married, so a better tax class, working full time, earned less than the two males in the SAME dept., who were much younger and only working part-time.
The first job I had after my graduation was the guy whose company is now prominently featured at Kununu. I started it- and quit after two months part-time. The guy was an arsehole beyond imagination. He only hires girls. Virgos, Aries and Capricorn. All hard-working people, and pays them close to nothing. I hecked after two years..all of them had written about their experiences working for him..the marketing, the sales and the graphic design lady..^^..the fucker deserves it.
