The Problem Of "Microaggression" At The Workplace

"Microaggression" is a real problem at the workplace. The list of behaviours that count as microaggressions is endless. Work plans are made outside office and you are not included; ideas are discussed during cigarette breaks and you are just informed; just because you are a woman, you are given all the "womanly" tasks - ordering lunch and coffee, taking notes in the meeting or making rangoli at the office function. The Deloitte Global Women at Work 2022 Report highlighted how almost 60 per cent women in corporate jobs have complained of encountering microaggression at the workplace. Microaggression, passive aggression, mansplaining, sarcastic remarks, cold treatment, hostile body language and demeaning gestures are all part of this list.
