I agree somewhat...

Sheryl Sandberg says 60% of male managers are afraid to have a one-on-one meeting with a female employee

  • Female employees are now facing a new threat to their careers in the post #metoo era.
  • Their male bosses are avoiding 1:1 time with them, for fear of how being alone with a woman will look.
  • This is based on new research released by Sheryl Sandberg's LeanIn organization which finds that "60% of male managers in the United States are afraid to do a one-on-one activity, and that the number of men that feel that way is on the rise since last year.
Because more women have begun to speak out about sexual harassment and sexism they've experienced in the workplace, female employees have a new threat to their careers: being avoided by their male bosses.
New research released by Sheryl Sandberg's LeanIn organization, which advocates for equal pay and equal advancement opportunity for women, found that in this post #metoo/#timesup world, "60% of male managers in the United States are afraid to do a one-on-one activity with a woman, including having a meeting," Sandberg told Julia Boorstin on a CNBC interview Friday.
Sandberg says senior male managers are also hesitating when it comes to business travel with their female employees as well as 1:1 dinners and that this number is on the rise since last year, up 33%.
What that amounts to is a large percentage of male managers are not mentoring their female employees. They are avoiding them.
