One woman, who started her career in the 1980s, says that a few years ago she was struck by an incident at her firm’s holiday party, when a senior man got drunk. The next day he was fired. She heard about it and called the C.E.O., hoping to intervene on his behalf. The C.E.O. told her, “I had three incoming calls from women in their 20s who said they could no longer work with him. Didn’t you notice what he was doing?” Her response: No! She hadn’t noticed.
“It’s because I was raised in the 1980s, and it was way worse then,” she says. “[The younger women] thought it was so threatening that they wouldn’t report to him anymore, and I called the C.E.O. to intervene! In that way, it has changed. Young women do not tolerate it.”
