Right, so basically your advice is everyone for themselves? I thought women were going to change the workplace? Aren't you just as selfish as the people you criticize? You'd just sell your coworkers out for a bucK?

Erm, she really wasn't criticizing anyone, just elaborating on how the world works in terms of the workplace. The feminists from years past may have claimed that they were going to "change the workplace", but I haven't seen anyone in this particular part of the thread carrying that banner. The response has been more along the template of "this is how the system works, and this is how you get ahead."

So what if she wants to be selfish? Looking out for yourself and making your own way is what men have been doing for years, why not women? If Jane Doe executive can play the game as well as the boys, why condemn her for it?
