"When people think about gender discrimination, many imagine pay gaps or barriers to promotion. But discrimination also plays out in routine interactions-what we refer to as "everyday gender discrimination" in our study. These are regular slights and offenses that can chip away at women's confidence and sense of belonging over time. They might include being ignored in meetings, being asked to perform administrative tasks outside one's role, receiving inappropriate comments or having one's ideas credited to others."
"Return-to-office mandates are spreading across North America, with Canada's major banks, the Ontario government, Amazon and Facebook calling employees back into the office. These moves reverse the flexibility that became widespread during the COVID-19 pandemic, when remote work became the new norm as public health measures emphasized staying home and avoiding large gatherings. Supporters of these policies often cite collaboration, innovation and mentorship as reasons to bring workers together in person."

A survey of 1,091 professional U.S. women with hybrid roles compared the same individuals' experiences across work locations.
