I was told this years ago, by a senior manager in a finance company here in Hong Kong. A woman. By some criteria "a person of colour". A minority. Who was nonetheless very senior in her organisation: up to the Managing Director level.
But who told me that she didn't like to work with women. Because they were always talking behind your back and waiting for you to fail. Men were different, she told me. An Old Man. With men, she said, they fitted in to a hierarchy straight away. They were natural at it. When the boss was named, they followed the boss.
