How Biglaw (And Other Employers) Make It Worse For Women
You aren't crazy, the workplace is working against you.
On the latest episode of The Jabot podcast I talk with Andie Kramer and Al Harris, about their new book, It’s Not You, It’s The Workplace, Women’s Conflict At Work At The Bias That Built It. We discuss the stereotypes that exist about women in the workplace and how they work to hurt women and their careers.
And, of course since Andie and Al have a ton of experience in the legal profession (he ran his own firm for years and she’s a partner at McDermott Will & Emery), we dish on Biglaw. The unique challenges for women in Biglaw, and importantly, what firms can do to improve the situation all get aired out.
The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wears when delivering dissents from the bench. It’s a reminder that even when we aren’t winning, we’re still a powerful force to be reckoned with.
