K Key 119 When an issue needs to be sorted out after six, you are somehow always the only one available, and it’s made clear that your date plans are not a priority. If this sounds like you, you may be the victim of what a recent Marie Claire article calls “the newest form of workplace discrimination: Single women who carry an unfair burden at the office, and stand in for their married-with-kids co-workers.” Employers have got used to working parents leaving at a reasonable hour and not working weekends, they’ve also got used to single staffers, particularly single women, picking up the work that employees with kids won’t get to. The result for those single women is no personal life, which limits both their overall well-being and their ability to meet a prospective partner and have children of their own. Even if single men face the same dilemma, it’s easy to see how single women are especially vulnerable to it. The most popular job for American women as of 2020 is still secretary/administrative assistant, which has been a top ten job for women for the last 60 years. We’re historically conditioned to think of female workers as those who support other workers. At the same time, women have just been told to be as ambitious as they can, which can very easily translate into saying “yes” to whatever project is handed to them.
