Interesting. My (F, 50’s) story, decades ago I worked in local govt. and we had to implement a chemical safety program. This was very new thing back then. I was a “secretary”, my official title. Since I was in school PT at night for biology and had just taken chemistry, they picked me to work w the Fire Dept on a chemical safety program and train 120 field employees. I did this successfully in 3 months as a 23 yo. The FD said it was excellent and ahead of schedule! But, according to my mgr (M, 40’s), this was interfering w my job, which happened to include payroll so they decided to hire an official Safety Officer. They hired a guy w a degree and I did his new hire paperwork. He was hired at $60K. I was making $21K. I quit 3 weeks later, got a student loan, moved to the college town in my state and went to school FT. Best worst, infuriating thing that happened to me. And to add salt to my wound, mgr was thrilled I was going to college to finally find a husband.
