I am now the Operations and Staffing Coordinator! After a week of holding my breath I found out today I got it

Aaaand, I asked for more money than they offered and I got that too.

I read somewhere that one of the reasons women don't get paid as much as men (aside from the fact that often women workers are undervalued and there is still a heck of a double standard) is that women don't always ask for more money. A lot of us where trained to "be greatful" for what we get and be lady like and not pushy. Whereas a man might have been brought up with the encouragement to be aggressive and push for what he wants. So, at the risk of being labeled a Pushy Broad, I always ask for more. Because I'm worth it!!

Carry on Tooters
